    Bacterial Growth Curve

    • 602 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Bacterial growth is the division of one bacterium into two daughter cells in a process called binary fission. Providing no mutational event occurs the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell. Hence‚ "local doubling" of the bacterial population occurs. Both daughter cells from the division do not necessarily survive. However‚ if the number surviving exceeds unity on average‚ the bacterial population undergoes exponential growth. The measurement of an exponential bacterial

    Chapter 6 Microbial Growth 1 Growth • increase in cellular constituents that may result in: – increase in cell number • e.g.‚ when microorganisms reproduce by budding or binary fission – increase in cell size • e.g.‚ coenocytic microorganisms have nuclear divisions that are not accompanied by cell divisions • microbiologists usually study population growth rather than growth of individual cells 2 The Growth Curve • observed when microorganisms are cultivated in batch

    as Vibrio natriegens‚ who are curved-rod shaped microorganisms‚ they elongate to almost twice their own size and form a dividing wall in which splits the single cell into two daughter cells (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). 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

    three different analysis; microscopy‚ soil microbiology and bacterial growth. The main aim of laboratory work with Escherichia coli and soil sample was to introduce students to bacterial growth in pure culture and soil microbial flora. The experiment of bacterial growth in pure culture using optical density measurement‚ plate count and DAPI direct count‚ showed that Plate Spread method was more precise to understand bacterial population growth tendency and counting generation time. During laboratory

    Experiment 9: Growth curve of Serratia marcescens Abstract Bacteria grows by binary fission. The aim of this experiment is to follow the growth of Serratia marcescens in nutrient broth at 37oCby recording the changes in turbidity (cloudiness) by measuring the absorbance of visible light (600 nm) and also to prove that there is an increase in the cell number and not just in mass during the growth. In the experiment we measure the full growth curve of Serratia marcescens by measuring the absorbance

    Optimal Growth Conditions and Generation Time for E. coli Introduction The goals of these exercises were to determine the optimal growing condition and the generation time of E. coli. Materials and Methods Please refer to the lab manual for a complete list of materials. To determine the optimal growth condition for E. coli‚ we had to test the environmental factors that could affect the growth. We tested the relative growth of E. coli in the presence and in the absence of oxygen. The results

    Bacterial are very diverse and quite adaptable‚ but they still need certain factors in order to thrive. The physical requirements for bacterial growth include pH range‚ temperature‚ oxygen concentrations‚ moisture levels‚ hydrostatic pressure‚ osmotic pressure‚ and radiation levels. When considering the pH level‚ bacteria are classified as either acidophiles (acid-loving)‚ neutrophiles (neutral ph range)‚ or alkaliphiles (alkali-loving). The one that causes disease in humans would be the neutrophiles
