Solution
The correct option is C Base of natural logarithm
Bacterial growth is divided into four phases, namely lag phase, log phase, stationary phase and death phase. In lag phase, there is very little or no bacterial growth. In log phase, the number of bacterial cells doubles at an exponential rate. The maximum growth phase is log phase. In stationary phase, the rate of cell death is equal to the rate of cell division. The exponential growth is expressed as Wt = W0ert, whereWt = final sizeW0 = initial size r = growth ratet = time of growthe = base of natural logarithmsThus, the correct answer is option C.

The exponential growth is expressed as Wt = W0ert, where
Wt = final size
W0 = initial size
r = growth rate
t = time of growth
e = base of natural logarithms
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
