2. 1.The bacterial growth curve represents the number of live cells in a
bacterial population over a period of time.
2.There are four distinct phases of the growth curve: lag, exponential
(log), stationary, and death.
3.The initial phase is the lag phase where bacteria are metabolically
active but not dividing.
4.The exponential or log phase is a time of exponential growth.
5.In the stationary phase, growth reaches a plateau as the number of
dying cells equals the number of dividing cells.
6.The death phase is characterized by an exponential decrease in the
number of living cells.
