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.
