Question

What is generation time in life cycle of bacteria?

Answer 1

Answer:

A generation time is simply the time it takes for one cell to become two. So, if we start with one Staph. aureus cell, in 30 minutes there will be two. In another 30 minutes, there should be four, and so on to 8, 16, 32, 64, indefinitely.

Explanation:
