This plot shows the optical density (OD) of each well over the baseline experiment period of 96 hours. At the start of the experiment, the biological specimens start to grow, having been warmed up and fed a glucose solution.  As they grow, they become optically dense, meaning that less light can pass through the well in which they grow.  As a result, the optical density is a measure of growth.
