The basic formula applied is. The relationship between the elapsed time T in minutes and the number of bacteria B of T in the Petri dish is modeled by the following function. Growth of bacterial cultures is defined as an increase in the number of bacteria in a population rather than in the size of individual cells.
Generation time G is defined as the time t per generation n number of generations.
Biological exponential growth is the exponential growth of biological organisms. Consider a population of bacteria for instance. The general rule of thumb is that the exponential growth formula. The relationship between the elapsed time T in minutes and the number of bacteria B of T in the Petri dish is modeled by the following function.
