Kane Laboratories is studying the impact of various enriched growth mediums on different bacteria. They
are currently studying the impact of placing Bacillus Megaterium into a culture of sucrose salts. The table
below shows the growth rate of the bacteria during the growth phase. The generation time for Bacillus
Megaterium is 25 minutes in this culture.
