Summary
Growth rates of RTG-2 cells were determined on cultures seeded at 12,500, 25,000, 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000 cells per ml and incubated at temperatures 5°C through 25°C. The optimum growth rate was found to be about 20°C at all seeding levels. Population doubling times were determined at each temperature—the shortest being 2 days at 20°C.
