• Growth and Shapes of Bacteria ملف

  Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, a process by which one parent cell divides to form two progeny cells. Because one cell gives rise to two progeny cell, bacteria are said to undergo exponential growth can be illustrated by the following relationship :.

  Number of cells :  1          2          4           8            16

  Exponential        :  2^º         2¹         2²         2³            2⁴
