After reading Ch. 6 in Microbiology: Principles and Explorations, fill in the following matrix.

List the four phases of bacterial growth and briefly describe what happens in each phase.

List and describe at least four methods used to measure bacterial growth.

List at least two physical factors that influence bacterial cell growth. Briefly describe how bacterial growth responds to changes in those factors.
