[edit] Summary
This figure is a graph depicting a hypothetical growth curve for bacteria. It is a graph with growth expressed as log numbers;, which express the number of colony-forming units of bacteria per ml, shown along the Y-axis, and time along the X-axis. The graph begins at lag phase, during which growth is stable, and the curve is a horizontal line parallel to the X-axis. The graph continues to log phase, during which growth accelerates rapidly, and the curve moves rapidly upward along the Y-axis, forming a diagonal line. In the next phase, stationary phase, growth levels off and the curve flattens out into a straight line parallel to the X-axis, but higher up on the Y-axis. In the last phase, death phase, growth slows down to a stop and the curve moves swiftly downward along the Y-axis, forming a diagonal line, which approaches the X-axis.
