Lyophilization Low temp, Low pressure Stores cell and doesn't kill
Generation Time The time it takes for MO's cell to divide into two
Bacteria Generation Time 30 minutes
Growth Phases Lag, Log, Stationary, Decline
Lag Phase MO's adapting to media, no doubling
Log Phase MO's numbers increase by generation
Stationary Phase MO's division levels off
Decline Phase MO's numbers decrease due to loss of nutrients, and increase of waste
