The decrease in number of bacteria may even become logarithmic. Hence, this phase of growth may also be called as negative logarithmic or negative exponential growth phase. Near the end of the logarithmic phase of a batch culture, competence for natural genetic transformation may be induced, as in Bacillus subtilis [10] and in other bacteria ...
In mathematics, logarithmic growth describes a phenomenon whose size or cost can be described as a logarithm function of some input. e.g. y = C log (x). Any logarithm base can be used, since one can be converted to another by multiplying by a fixed constant. [1] Logarithmic growth is the inverse of exponential growth and is very slow. [2]
[120] [121] The second phase of growth is the logarithmic phase, also known as the exponential phase. The log phase is marked by rapid exponential growth. The rate at which cells grow during this phase is known as the growth rate (k), and the time it takes the cells to double is known as the generation time (g). During log phase, nutrients are ...
Logarithmically growing bacteria differ from stationary phase bacteria with respect to the number of genome copies present in the cell, and this has implications for the capability to carry out an important DNA repair process. During logarithmic growth, two or more copies of any particular region of the chromosome may be present in a bacterial ...
Bacteria in biofilms communicate by quorum sensing, which activates genes participating in virulence factors production. [25] [26] Biofilms are the product of a microbial developmental process. [27] The process is summarized by five major stages of biofilm development, as shown in the diagram below: [28]
Finland handed the defending champion United States its first loss at the 2025 world junior hockey championship as Tuomas Uronen scored in overtime for a 4-3 win on Sunday afternoon.
The Dane County Medical Examiner's Office on Wednesday identified the victims of the school shooting as Rubi Patricia Vergara, 14, and Erin West, 42.
“And I was just like, ‘Okay.’ That's, like, what's actually out in the world because of people creating hate,” she continued. “I'm a mom.
