Theory for Transitions Between Exponential and Stationary Phases: Universal Laws for Lag Time
Theory for Transitions Between Exponential and Stationary Phases: Universal Laws for Lag Time
Quantitative characterization of bacterial growth has gathered substantial attention since Monod's pioneering study. Theoretical and experimental work has uncovered several laws for describing the log growth phase, in which the number of cells grows exponentially. However, microorganism growth also exhibits lag, stationary, and death phases under starvation conditions, in which …
