  2. Cell Division

  3. Bacterial Growth Curve • Lag phase • Log phase • Stationary phase • Death phase

  4. Measuring Bacterial Concentration • Serial dilution/ Standard plate counts • CFU = Colony Forming Unit • CFU/ml

  5. Measuring Bacterial Growth • Direct microscopic counts

  6. Measuring Bacterial Growth • Most probable number
