Understanding Bacterial Growth Curve: Phases | Biology Blog
Bacterial Growth Curve In any biological system growth can be defined as the orderly increase of all chemical component . Increase of mass weight not really reflect growth curve because of the cells could be simply increasing their content of storage product such as glycogen . The idea of the bacterial growth curve was developed through careful observations and experiments done by early scientists in the late 1800s. They studied how bacteria grow and divided their growth process into different stages . Bacterial growth in batch culture can be modeled with four different phases - Lag Phase Exponential Growth Phase Stationary Phase ...
