Exponential Growth of E. coli
Escherichia coli, also more commonly known by the name E.coli, is a commonly found in the large intestines of warm-blooded organisms. The strains of bacteria that are found in the body are not harmful and can actually aid the body in things like digestion. E.coli, like a lot of bacteria, have a growth stage that can be expressed exponentially in both an equation and on a graph. In order to calculate and predict the number of E. coli bacteria cells growing on a plate of medium after a certain amount of time, an equation for continuous exponential growth can be created using the formula A=Pe^rt, in which A represents the ending amount of bacteria, P represents the number of bacterial cells initially on the plate,
