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.
It has been observed that, if the conditions are right, bacteria can double in number through binary fission, within a short time of about ten minutes! Budding This is another form of asexual reproduction in bacteria. Some types of bacteria reproduce through budding, which is otherwise known as fragmentation. In this case, the mother cell forms a bud at one end, and also makes a nucleus for the bud, through the process of mitosis.
