Question

The phase of maximum multiplication resulting in increased population of bacteria with reduced generation time is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

During this period, called the lag phase, the cells are metabolically active and increase only in cell size. factors needed for cell division and population growth under their new environmental conditions.

Answer 2

The phase of maximum multiplication resulting in an increased population of bacteria with reduced generation time is a lag phase.

Explanation:

• This lag period is the time when bacteria adapt to the environment.
• The lag phase is followed by a logarithmic phase in which the population grows logarithmically.
• As the population grows,  bacteria run out of available nutrients and produce waste products.
• In growth studies, the stagnation period is a slow growth because the bacteria adapt to the new environment.
• It represents the early stages of the bacterial growth cycle and is unique to bacterial dynamics.
