The relationship between time and number of cells during exponential growth is linear.

In the death/decline phase of bacterial growth, the number of dividing cells is usually more than the number of dying cells.

Optical Density Measurements using a Spectrophotometer can provide information about the presence of specific bacterial species in a sample.

Viable plate counts for indirect cell counting always accurately represent the total number of bacterial cells in a sample.

A chemostat maintains a constant volume during bacterial growth to ensure a pure culture.

Anabaena is a unicellular cyanobacteria.

Binary fission involves the replication of RNA instead of DNA.

The generation time is the time between two different points in the life cycle of two successive generations.
