dictionary help| acceleration phase | medical dictionary |
<cell biology, cell culture> A period of increasing growth before the log phase in a culture of microbes.
After the culture is started on a medium, at first there is no growth (the lag phase) and then the microbes start to gradually grow (acceleration phase) until they reach a constant maximum rate of growth (log phase).
