Give the meaning of those tests in English and translate them in French.
B. BACTERIA
Bacteria are very small unicellular plant like organisms. They occur most almost
everywhere, including soil, water, air and plants at large. A good number of bacteria are found in
the large intestine of animals. In man, 50% of the weight of dry faeces is in bacteria. Bacteria
multiply when the surroundings are favorable. In an unfavorable medium, they die or change to
spore. They reproduce mainly by the process of binary fission, which is by dividing into two cells.

The rate at which bacteria grow is variable. When placed in a new medium, there is an
initial or lag phase during which there is no reproduction. During this period, the bacteria are
becoming accustomed to the new medium. This is followed by the full growth period, sometimes
called the logarithmic period because the logarithm of the number of bacteria present is in direct
proportion to the time of growing. Then follows the stationary period during which the bacteria
die as fast as they are being reproduced. Finally, there is the period of decline, in which the rate of
reproduction steadily decreases until all the bacteria are dead.
