It depends on:

A) The type of bacteria

B) The oxygen/gas levels

C) The substrates or nutrients available for the bacteria

D) The temperature

E) etc...

They divide at a constant rate, provided the factors above remain the same, then when there are too many bacterial cells and not enough nutrients for all of them, and too much waste produced by the cells, the growth slows down.
