Endotoxins are released only when bacteria
Correct answer: C. Decline phase
- A. Excrete
- B. Reproduce
- C. Decline phase
- D. Stop phase
Explanation
At the decline phase, bacterial growth decreases exponentially and many bacteria begin dying due to lack of nutrients or unfavorable changes in body conditions. Endotoxins are components of bacterial gram-negative membranes that are released to the external environment when a bacterial cell dies. Bacteria don't excrete endotoxins as waste material.
