Growth is shown as L = log(numbers) where numbers is the number of colony forming units per ml, versus T (time.). Bacterial growth is the asexual reproduction, or cell division, of a bacterium into two daughter cells, in a process called binary fission. Providing no mutational event occurs the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell. Hence, local doubling of the bacterial population occurs.
Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell. When conditions are favourable such as the right temperature and nutrients are available, some bacteria like Escherichia coli can divide every 20 minutes. This means that in just 7 hours one bacterium can generate 2,097,152 bacteria.After one more hour the number of bacteria will have risen to a colossal 16,777,216.Thatâs why we can quickly become ill when pathogenic microbes invade our bodies. 1/3 Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission.or example it may contain a gene that makes the bacterium resistant to a certain antibiotic. Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes).
