unreferenced date June 2011 Diauxic growth is any cell growth characterized by cellular growth in two phases, and can be illustrated with a diauxic growth curve . Diauxic growth, meaning double growth, is caused by the presence of two sugars on a culture growth media, one of which is easier for the target bacterium to metabolize. This sugar is consumed first, which leads to rapid growth, followed by a lag phase, where the cellular machinery used to metabolize the second sugar is activated. After that, the bacterium experiences a slower growth phase, during which the second sugar is metabolized. cell biology stub Category Cell biology ... more details

Organic growth is growth that comes from a company s existing businesses, as opposed to growth that comes from buying new businesses. It may be negative.

Organic growth does include growth over a period that results from investment in businesses the company owned at the beginning of the period. What it excludes is the boost to growth from acquisitions, and the decline from sales and closures of whole businesses. When a company does not disclose organic growth numbers, it is usually possible to estimate them by estimating the numbers for acquisitions made in the period being looked at and in the previous year.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Image Log.svg thumb A graph of logarithmic growth In mathematics , logarithmic growth describes a phenomenon whose size or cost can be described as a logarithm function of some input. e.g. y C log x . Note that any logarithm base can be used, since one can be converted to another by a fixed constant. Logarithmic growth is the inverse of exponential growth and is very slow. A familiar example of logarithmic growth is the number of digits needed to represent a number, N , in positional notation , which grows as log sub b sub N , where b is the base of the number system used, e.g. 10 for decimal arithmetic. Another example is in cryptography , where the key cryptography key size needed to protect against a brute force attack for a certain period of time grows logarithmically with the desired protection interval. In the design of computer algorithm s, logarithmic growth, and related variants, such as log linear, or linearithmic , growth are very desirable indications of efficiency. Logarithmic growth can lead to apparent paradoxes, as in the martingale roulette system martingale roulette system, where the potential winnings before bankruptcy grow as the logarithm of the gambler s bankroll. It also plays a role in the St. Petersburg paradox . In microbiology , the rapidly growing exponential growth phase of a cell culture is sometimes called logarithmic growth. During this bacterial growth phase, the number of new cells appearing are proportional to the population.
