d) Since we know this bacterial organism thrives in colder areas of the world, what can be said about the effect of temperature on the growth patterns ofthis bacterial organism? How would increasing the temperature affect the growth constant? e) If the bacterial organism is resistant to antibiotics, how would administering antibiotics affect the growth of this organism?

Researchers discover a new strain of a previously known bacterial organism and need help
understanding properties related to it's bacterial growth patterns. The new strain is lethal to humans
and is found to be increasingly deadly in arctic climates. Researchers have also provided the
following chart of plate counts:

a) Create a bacterial growth curve with log values of CFU/ml on the Y-axis andthe time
on the x axis.
b) Indicate the different phases of the growth curve on your plot.
c) Determine the growth constant value (k) and the Generation Time value (G).
