Not in all cases. Not all bacteria can harvest sunlight, so to these bacteria light doesn't matter and they will grow equally fast in light or dark assuming there is a equilivalent energy source. For bacteria what can use sunlight there is a definite difference in growth between light and dark cultures.

∙ 12y agobacteria grows better in the sunlight because bacteria also grows in heat better that's why in hospitals doctors or nurses offices they keep it chilly

What makes bacteria grow faster?
Some bacteria are autotrophs. This means they produce their own food, allowing them to grow on their own terms. As well, bacteria grow by binary fission, whereas fungi have to grow by either branching and elongating, or budding, which takes longer.
Why does bacteria grow in hot dark and moist places?
The reason why bacteria grows in hot and moist places is because the warmth allows a faster metabolism for the bacteria, thus allowing the bacteria to reproduce more quickly.
Does bacteria grow better in moist areas?
yes it grows well in damp dark places.
Do plants grow faster in sunlight or dark?
a plant will grow faster in sunlight becuse the sunlight has its minerals that the plant will mke into food adn the dark is not light enough to produce the energy or minerals for a plant to survive offof

Do beans grow in the dark?
Yes. They actually grow faster in the dark than in the light.
Does mold grow faster on apples in light or dark places?

Where does mold grow faster on bread sunlight or in the dark and please write how or why they grow mold in their faster If you dont know the answer then dont answer it?
In the dark because in sunlight the moisture from the brbead would dy out
Why does bacteria grow faster on a wet swimming suit?
Because bacteria likes moist, damp and warm places to grow. Mold specifically requires moisture in order to grow and the swimming suit being wet and in hot environments more often, it is more likely to develop bacteria faster.
What can help bacteria grow?
Bacteric grow faster in places where there is enough moisture, food and oxygen...our mouth!
Does watery bread grow mold faster in dark places?
Yes
Does mold grow faster in the light or dark?
Mold can grow better in the light because when fruits get into the dark they can spoil faster and get soft/ugly
Does bacteria grow better in moist areas?
