The rate of bacterial growth may be affected by environmental factors both physical and biochemical. The physical factors include temperature, light, oxygen concentration, moisture, pH, hydrostatic pressure, osmotic pressure and radiation. The biochemical factors or nutritional factors include availability of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, trace elements and in some cases, vitamins.
