Bacteria that require light to reproduce will show lack of growth compared to bacteria that do not require light to reproduce. This is because, in a dark environment, the light-dependent bacteria would not be able to carry out the necessary processes for reproduction, while those that do not require light can continue to grow and reproduce normally.
