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.
Mitosis is the type of cell division by which a single cell divides in such a way as to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. This is the method by which the body produces new cells for both growth and repair of aging or damaged tissues throughout the body.
