Bacterial growth curve in hindi || microbiology

In this video, I will be discussing what the bacterial growth curve reflects, different phases & their significance. Growth of bacterial cultures is defined as an increase in the number of bacteria in a population rather than in the size of individual cells. The growth of a bacterial population occurs in a geometric or exponential manner: with each division cycle (generation), one cell gives rise to 2 cells, then 4 cells, then 8 cells, then 16, then 32, and so forth. The time required for the formation of a generation, is called the generation time (G), The generation time, which varies among bacteria, is controlled by many environmental conditions and by the nature of the bacterial species. The growth rate increases up to a maximum when the medium provides a better energy source and more of the biosynthetic intermediates that the cell would otherwise have to make for itself. Upon inoculation into the new medium, bacteria do not immediately reproduce, and the population size remains constant. During this period, called the lag phase, the cells are metabolically active and increase only in cell size. They are also synthesizing the enzymes and factors needed for cell division and population growth under their new environmental conditions. The population then enters the log phase, in which cell numbers increase in a logarithmic fashion, and each cell generation occurs in the same time interval as the preceding ones, resulting in a balanced increase in the constituents of each cell. The log phase continues until nutrients are depleted or toxic products accumulate, at which time the cell growth rate slows, and some cells may begin to die. Under optimum conditions, the maximum population for some bacterial species at the end of the log phase can reach a density of 10 to 30 billion cells per millilitre. The log phase of bacterial growth is followed by the stationary phase, in which the size of a population of bacteria remains constant, even though some cells continue to divide and others begin to die. The stationary phase is followed by the death phase, in which the death of cells in the population exceeds the formation of new cells. The length of time before the onset of the death phase depends on the species and the medium. Bacteria do not necessarily die even when starved of nutrients, and they can remain viable for long periods of time. #BacterialGrowth #PhasesOfGrowthInBacteria
