How growth curve will change if the number of bacteria in the lag phase will be change from 16 to 32cells?

Question

discussing stages of bacterial growth curve.

Answer 1

The lag phase of bacteria growth is the time when bacteria are adjusting to the environment and maturing. They are not yet able to divide. When they are ready to divide, they will enter the exponential phase and rapidly increase in number. They will increase in number until they plateau at carrying capacity. If there is no additional food in their environment they will enter a death phase. Now if you were to double the starting number of bacteria, this entire growth cycle would proceed much more rapidly. The culture would reach carrying capacity much faster due to exponential growth from a larger starting number.
