Lag Phase Log Phase Stationary Phase Death Phase = Cells added to fresh culture medium = Also known as the exponential growth phase | = Growth rate slows = Cells die in greater numbers Binary fission occurs = Cells grow larger and are metabolically active |= Wastes products accumulate = Spore forming species produce endospores = Repair of damaged or shocked cells occurs | = Aerobic cell growth becomes limited = Cells in this phase are used in laboratories = The number of dying cells exceeds the number of dividing cells = Number of newly produced cells equals the number of cells dying = Also known as the decline phase | = Carrying capacity is reached
