survivor curve ⚫ When the microbial populations as a function of time are presented on semilogarithmic coordinates, a linear decrease in microbial population with time is observed. It is the survivor curve. It is emphasized that these relationships occur when the environment around the population is at a constant temperature throughout the period of exposure
