Ion condensation theory is an essential concept to bacteria physiology. Ion condensation theory explains the cations-bacterial wall interaction. Ion condensation theory underlines the importance of cations in bacterial growth. Ion condensation theory elucidates the notion of lag-time in bacterial growth.
