Bacterial Growth

Dr Brett Finlay shows how bacteria can grows rapidly when there is plenty of nutreints. He explains how E-Coli can't grow without unlimited nutreints. Bacteria growth needs unlimited energy that the world doesn't have. Example: In our intestine E-Coli only grows 1 in every 24 hours, because it's fighting for the nutreints from its neighbors. How this clip relates to our Microbiology class is what we do in are labs. We do different techniques Like Streak plates, Pour Plates, Sterile Transfer Techniques to see how many colonies grow and what conditions they grow under. Also in lectures we talk about the different conditions that bacteria grow like temperature, Lag phase,log phase, stationary phase, and death phase.http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/video/index.html
