During the lag phase, the rate of growth is slow due to two main reasons, ''B. subtilis'' is absorbing nutrients in the medium and the replication machinery is being switched on. The higher the concentration of nutrients in the medium, the faster the rate of bateria growth. | During the lag phase, the rate of growth is slow due to two main reasons, ''B. subtilis'' is absorbing nutrients in the medium and the replication machinery is being switched on.

Both colony number and cell volume increase exponentially during this phase.

The growth of the colony ceases in number and in volume due to a finite concentration of nutrients, hence its does not have a gradient. Other causes may be death and cell division. | The growth of the colony ceases in number and in volume due to a finite concentration of nutrients, hence its does not have a gradient.
