Solve the following problem: 34,000 bacteria/l have been measured 4 hours after inoculating a medium. After 24 hours, the number of bacteria increased to 5.2x10^6/l. Assuming that the lag phase is negligible, calculate: The specific speed of growth. The number of bacteria that were inoculated.
Microbial Physiology
Microbial physiology is the branch of microbiology that is associated with studying the physiology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is an important field of science concerning functional genomics and metabolic engineering.
Chemotaxis
The organism’s movement in a particular direction as a response to certain chemicals that are available in the environment is defined as chemotaxis. In brief, it can be defined as the occurrence of an organism’s movement in response to a certain chemical stimulus.
