There are four phases to bacterial cell growth: the lag phase‚ which is a period where bacteria are maturing and adjusting to the environment. During this phase‚ RNA synthesis‚ production of ribosomes‚ enzymes and other molecules occur (Mullenger‚ 1973). This is followed by the exponential

It is generally believed‚ from an ecological perspective‚ that populations will display either an exponential of logistic growth rate. If optimal environments are consistently maintained with no biotic or abiotic limiting factors (excess food‚ excess space availability‚ optimum climactic environment‚ no predation‚ etc) then a population will grow in

Bacterial growth patterns and the effects of environmental factors on properties of colonies ERIC LI Abstract In this experiment we work with different types of bacteria and experiment with their different properties and how they grow in certain situations. Different samples of bacteria cultures were gathered from different places such as the mouth‚ shaded mulch‚ and from the table top. The samples were collected by using a cotton swab and swiped onto a petri dish filled with nutrient agar. The
