That sounds like exponential reduction in the number of bacteria. How do any bacteria survive with this rate, unless I am missing something.

- laser 9y agoBacteria grow at an exponential rate :) What at an incredible equilibrium. In optimal conditions E. coli can double every twenty minutes! These organisms live on a completely different time scale.
- enitihas 9y agoIndeed, a very special equilibrium then.
- narag 9y agoReproducing at a higher rate?
- pas 9y agoThe lucky ones exponentially conquer the freed up space, then some lucky virus gets to them, rinse, repeat.
