- A microbiologist has isolated a new strain of bacteria, and is trying to characterize aspects of its growth. Three flasks of the same media have different amounts of NaCl added. Other growth conditions are identical, and the flasks inoculated at the same time. At regular intervals over a 3 hour period, culture samples are taken and turbidity is measured. Here are the absorbance values over time in a table and graphed. Absorbance (OD600) Time (min) 20% NaCl 3% NaCl 0% NaCl 0 0.05 0.05 0.05 30 0.06 0.05 0.05 60 0.075 0.06 0.05 90 0.11 0.07 0.049 120 0.25 0.1 0.048 150 0.5 0.105 0.055 180 0.7 0.11 0.055 210 0.99 0.15 0.06 240 1.22 0.18 0.055 270 1.35 0.19 0.06 300 1.5 0.2 0.06 330 1.6 0.25 0.062 360 1.7 0.3 0.06 Based on these data, which of the following can be determined about this bacterium? It is psychrophilic. It…When the yeast cells have completely re-hydrated, measure out 1.8 mL of well-mixed yeast suspension (0.2% yeast) into each of two new 15 mL centrifuge tubes. Add 200 μL of a 10% (w/v) Sodium Azide*** in YGM solution to one of the 15 mL tubes with yeast suspension. Add 200 μl of YGM to the other 15 mL tube of yeast suspension for your Control. Let both tubes incubate at room temperature for 30 min, vortexing every ~5 minutes What is the % concentration of azide in this sample during metabolic inhibition?What is the % concentration of yeast in this sample during metabolic inhibition?A bacterium has a generation time of 30 minutes. You transfer cells from an exponentially growing culture to a fresh source of the same medium so that the freshly inoculated medium contains 3.2 x 106 cells per milliliter. This new culture does not exhibit a lag phase. About how many cells (per milliliter) should you have after 1.5 hours incubation?? Solve this step by step and by using formula
- Discuss in chemical detail the mechanism of action (how it works) of IMAC. Compare and contrast gel filtration chromotography with IMAC. Discuss the pros and cons for each technique. Why would a scientist prefer one technique over another? In what situations would one technique be more viable than the other?Five dialysis bags, impermeable to sucrose, were filled with various concentrations of sucrose and then placed in separate beakers containing an initial concentration of 0.6 M sucrose solution. At 10 minute intervals, the bags were weighed and the percent change in mass of each bag was graphed. Which line represents the bag that contained a solution isotonic to the 0.6 M solution at the beginning of the experiment? Which line represents the bag with the highest initial concentration of sucrose? Which line or lines represent bags that contain a solution that is still hypertonic at the end of 60 minutes? What is the best explanation for the shape of line e. after 50 minutes?Two flasks of E. coli are grown in batch culture in the same medium (2% glucose and amino acids; no nitrate) and at the same temperature (378C). Culture #1 is well aerated. Culture #2 is anoxic. After 16 hours the following observations are made: ■ Culture #1 has a high cell density; the cells appear to be in stationary phase, and the glucose level in the medium is reduced to 1.2%. ■ Culture #2 has a low cell density; the cells appear to be in logarithmic phase, although their doubling time is prolonged (over 1 hour). The glucose level is reduced to 0.2%. Why does culture #2 have so little glucose remaining relative to culture #1, even though culture #2 displayed slower growth and has less biomass?
- You plate 100 uL of a bacterial culture on an LBA plate and incubate for one day at 37 degrees Celsius. You count 100 colonies (colony forming units). What is the concentration of cells you plated (represented in units of CFU/mL)? Hint: look at the units carefully. I put 10000 last time and it was wrong!! that is all the information given... 5 cfu/mL b. 1,000 cfu/mL c. 500 cfu/mL d. 1 cfu/mL e. 10,000 cfu/mLGiven this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution. Given that each bacterial…Using absorbance readings and a standard curve relating absorbance to cell number, you suspect that a bacterial culture contains 7.4 x 109 CFUs/ml. What dilution of this sample would give you a countable plate?
- If the volume of a Staphylococcus aureus cell is estimated at 0.5 μm3, how many cells could be accommodated, in principle, in 5 mL of saturated culture? (1 mL = 1 cm3). Show your calculations.If you added 5 mL of a 20X tocopherol to 5 mL of cell culture at a density of 2.4 x 107 cells/mL, what would the final concentration of tocepherol and cell density be?A bacterial culture has a concentration of 3.2 x 108 cells /mL. You dilute this culture as follows: 1/50, then 10-3 and finally 1/20. If you then plate 0.2 mL of the final dilution, how many CFU would you expect following incubation?
