Question

Log phase is also known as _________

• A. lag phase
• B. exponential phase
• C. stationary phase
• D. decline phase

Answer 1

Answer:

B. exponential phase

• The log (logarithmic) phase of the bacterial growth curve is also known as the exponential phase.

• It is the second phase of the bacterial growth curve.

• In this phase the bacteria that have adapted to the new environment doubles.

• Thus, the maximum growth rate is seen in this phase.
