The 2 samples are then placed in an incubator, and over time as the number of bacteria grow, this relative value will change according to the growth phase of the bacteria. When the OD600 measures close to zero, the bacterial population in is the early lag growth phase, the bacteria are at their most reproductive during the log or exponential phase, which usually corresponds to 0.5-0.6 OD600. Beyond these values, the bacterial population will stabilize and then decline. | |||
