    The generation time "g" for a particular bacterium is the time it takes to double its population numbers.

    Explanation:

    The generation time of bacteria is defined as the time required or taken by the bacteria to double its population numbers with a specific period.

    It is represented as "g"

    "t" as the time in the generation frame or period per generation

    "n" as the number of generation.

    Therefore it is calculated as g = t/n.

    For example staphylococcus is said to have a generation time of 30minutes, while E. Colli has generation time of 20minutes.
