Dalton. A unit of measurement equal to the mass of a hydrogen atom, 1.67 x 10E-24 gram/L (Avogadro's number).
Death phase. The final growth phase, during which nutrients have been depleted and cell number decreases. (See Growth phase).

Dalton - measure of molecular weight or mass. One hydrogen atom has mass of 1 Da. Proteins and other macromolecule molecular weights are usually measured in kDa or kD (kilodaltons) - 1000 Da.

Dalton: Unit of atomic mass. One dalton corresponds to the mass of a hydrogen atom = 3.32X10-24 g.

dalton
): The basic unit of mass on an atomic scale. One
amu
or
dalton
is one-twelfth the mass of a carbon 12 atom (in other words, the mass of a hydrogen atom, 1.66 x 10-24 g). Therefore, there are 6.023 x 1023
amu
in one gram (Avogadro number).

The mass of subatomic particles is too small to be conveniently measured in grams so atomic mass units (amu) are used instead. Atomic mass units are also called daltons. One amu (or dalton) is approximately 1.7 X 10-24g.
