Apart from the changes in nutrient concentration, and for non-synchronised cultures, it is generally taken that cells pass smoothly through their cell cyclesĮn route to doubling their numbers by binary fission. After a lag phase the number of culturable cells (the ‘viable count’Ĥ, as judged by plate counts of the number of colony-forming units observable on the same medium solidified by agar or a similar material) is observed to increase, typically exponentially, for a number of generations (the growth phase or exponential phase). We seed a suitable growth medium with an appropriate inoculum of cells known to be capable of replicating in that growth medium. “Bacterial populations in both batch and continuous culture are much more heterogeneous than is normally assumed, and such cultures may consist of several types of subpopulations simultaneously differing in viability, activity and integrity of the cells”Ĭonsider a typical axenic flask or broth culture of bacteria (įigure 1), arguably the staple of modern laboratory microbiology. Please send bug reports, feature requests, etc., to Dr.“It is now well established that some micro-organisms can, under certain conditions, be deprived of all visible signs of life and yet these organisms are not dead, for, when their original conditions are restored, they can return to normal life and activity” Includes many CPT format files that are compatible with Panoply.
