Lag phase. The initial growth phase, during which cell number remains relatively constant prior to rapid growth. See growth phase.
Lawn. A uniform and uninterrupted laver of bacterial growth, in which individual colonies cannot be observed.
Lag Phase → initial phase
Low number of reproducing organisms
Bacteria increase in size before division
This requires nutrients which need to be digested ...
LAG PHASE: Growth is slow at first, while the "bugs" acclimate to the food and nutrients in their new habitat.
LOG PHASE: Once the metabolic machinery is running, they start multiplying exponentially, doubling in number every few minutes.
(See Death phase, Lag phase, Logarithmic phase, Stationary phase.) H Haploid cell. A cell containing only one set, or half the usual (diploid) number, of chromosomes. Hemophilia.
The first phase of growth is the lag phase, a period of slow growth when the cells are adapting to the high-nutrient environment and preparing for fast growth. The lag phase has high biosynthesis rates, as growth factors(enzymes) are produced.
