question
log
answer
Gram stains are best applied to microbes that are in this phase?
question
stationary phase
answer
This phase begins once nutrients begin to deplete and metabolic waste starts to builds up

answer
in stationary phase, reproduction is equal to?
question
nutrients run out, metabolic waste accumulates
answer
Death phase begins when? (2)
question
death phase
answer
In this phase cells are dying faster than they can divide

question
between stationary and death
answer
In what phase would bacteria form spore?
