Bacterial Division
• Bacteria divide by binary fission
• Alternative means
• Budding
• Conidiospores
(filamentous bacteria)
• Fragmentation
Oxygen Requirements
pH
Generation Time
• Lag phase – making new - Culture samples are diluted and spread
enzymes in response to new on the agar surface and the plates are
medium incubated. Colonies are counted on the
• Log phase – exponential growth agar surface following the incubation
• Desired for production of period
products
• Most sensitive to drugs and Ring Mounted Slides
radiation during this period
• Stationary phase – - Agar-gel medium is placed in a small
• nutrients becoming limiting ring mounted on a slide
or waste products - Cells are spread on dish, incubated and
becoming toxic examined in a microscope
• death rate = division rate
• Death phase – death exceeds Particle Counters
division
- 2 electrodes (1 in tube at vacuum and 1
Measuring Growth in solution) and 1 electrolyte solution
- Vacuum is applied at tube to let solution
• Direct methods – measure the pass through orifice
count individual cells - Electrical resistance causes pulses in
• Indirect Methods – intracellular voltage
components of cells are - No. of pulses = no. of cells
measured (e.g., RNA, DNA, - Height of the pulse = measure of cell
protein) size
Substrate Inhibition
Product inhibition
