  We report bacterial growth under hypergravitational stress. Cultures of E.
coli and B. subtilis were subjected to the gravitational stress (38g) and their
growth curves were measured using UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Experiments were
also carried out to investigate nutrient consumption under hypergravitational
conditions. Our results show considerable difference between samples subjected
to hypergravity and normal conditions. This study has importance to understand
bacterial response to external stress factors like gravity and changes in
bacterial system in order to adapt with stress conditions for its survival.
