Suppose that you were tasked with 4 cultures of a specific Bacteria Species in Luria Broth medium: (1) culture A – cells are in lag phase; (2) culture B – cell in log phase; (3) culture C – cells in stationary phase; and culture D – cells in decline phase. Imagine that you observe the growth rates of each culture in a fresh sterilized LB medium. Now, plot the outcome growth curves of cultures A, B, C and D in a single graph.
