Students have asked these similar questions
Why does the growth rate rise with increasing temperature and then fall again at higher temperatures?
Are you able to identify the lag, log, stationary and death phase in using this growth curve? Are you able to calculate the generation time for the microbial under this condition?
Does the "lag" phase always occur during microbial growth? Explain.
