1. Growthcurve and different methods to quantitate bacterial growth

5. During the exponential phase each microorganism is dividing at constant intervals. Thus the population will double in number during a specific length of time called the generation time or doubling time.

7. The mean generation time(g) is the reciprocal of the mean growth rate constant. g=1/k
