lagvaiheessa
Lagvaiheessa is a Finnish expression meaning "in the lag phase," commonly used in biological and industrial contexts to describe the initial period after microorganisms or cells are introduced into a new environment. During this phase, cells adjust to surrounding conditions, activate metabolic pathways, repair damage, and synthesize enzymes and macromolecules needed for growth. Population size typically does not increase measurably, even though metabolic activity may be substantial.
In microbiology, the lag phase is one stage of the classical growth curve, which also includes the
Lagvaiheessa is observed and quantified using methods like optical density measurements, viable cell counts, metabolic assays,
