This gives us an equation exponential in t. Hence, if an E. coli, whose division time is about 20 minutes, is
left to divide, it would reach a volume of 9.304596e+17 cubic metres in 40 hours, which is approximately
the volume of the earth. Fortunately (or unfortunately), we don’t see E. coli earths coming up every 40
hours.
This is because such an uncontrolled growth is possible only given an unlimited amount of resources and
space, which is not the actual case.
It is known that the population of the species is limited by the resources in the habitat. Leibig’s Law of the
Minimum dictates that under steady state, population size is limited by the resource in shortest supply.
Population growth ceases when population reaches a carrying capacity. This is central to the Logistic
Growth model.
This carrying capacity arises due to the fact that in a condition with limited resources, individuals face
intraspecific and interspecific competition. Hence, the Logistic model is a density-dependent growth model.
The equation governing the Logistic model is therefore:
