Choose the correct sequence of stages of the growth curve bacteria.

• Correct answer
  A

  Lag, log, stationary, decline phase
• B

  Lag, log, stationary phase
• C

  Stationary, lag, log, decline phase
• D

  Decline, lag, log phase

Solution

Bacterial growth cycles in a growth curve consist of four phases: lag, exponential (log), stationary, and death.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
