초록

It has been found that the colony size of bacteria grown on an agar plate decreases with increasing agar gel concentration. Evidenc from recent studies suggests that the bacterial colony dynamics is closely related with the mechanical properties of the substrate. We investigate whether bacterial growth on the agar substrate is controlled mostly by the nutrients' diffusion which is hindered more in porous medium than in solution. The number of bacterial cells in single colonies is found to be inversely correlated with agar concentration. High-resolution live cell imaging at the single bacterium level confirms that the bacterial growth rate is reduced with increasing agar concentration. There is a strong correlation between the slowed diffusion and the reduced number of cells in a high concentration of agar medium.
