Question
When it comes to bacteria growing by binary fission, its generation time will be the time interval required for the cells to divide. The formula for generation time would be G=t/3.3log(b/B).
G would represent the generation time
t represents the time interval in hours, minutes
b represents the number of bacteria at the end of a time interval
B is the number of bacteria at the beginning of the time interval
a) What would be the generation time of the bacteria population that increases from 103 - 106 cells of 5 hours of growth
b)If the growth interval was 4 hours and the generation time was for 18 minutes; what would be the increase in the bacteria population?
