- Comment "Not to be confused with doubling time. Though in some contexts the two expressions are used interchangeably, in cell biology there is an often misunderstood difference. The generation time is only the same as the doubling time for the whole population when negative feedback factors are not significant, e.g. limited resources, suboptimal environmental conditions, or accumulation of waste concentrations. The time it takes a colony that has been growing exponentially to double its numbers (doubling time) is longer than the time it takes a single cell to go from division to division (generation time) because more of the cells are the ones that have just divided than the ones that are about to divide.Ref: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time#Difference_with_generation_time [26.8.2010] AllInterview.com.

Differentiate between doubling time and generation time? http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/14064.html [26.8.2010]In a bacteria population the single-cell generation time varies during the development of the population. Each phase of this evolution has its own single-cell generation time TG or its specific generation time distribution TG, min ... TG, max. When giving the single-cell generation time one has to specify the phase of the development in which one has measured itRef: Joachim Gruber.
