Summary Introduction

The microbial growth is considered to be an increase in the cell size or the number of microbial cells. The microbes exhibit binary fission, where the single cell divides into two cells. The growth of the microbes can be exhibited in growth curve that as four phases, such as lag phase, log phase, stationary phase, and death phase.

Assume an inoculum with a cell density of 108 cells per mL. The entire generation time takes 30 minutes. How many hours would it take to grow a culture to 108/mL if you started with a 10–2 dilution? helpful formula:  g   (generation time) =   0.301 (time)/ log x – log xo
bacterial suspension with a population of 6.3 x 107cells/mL was diluted as follows: 4 mL was removed and added to 16 mL of diluent. This was again diluted 1 in 300.                                                                                                                                                                      Determine the concentration of cells after EACH dilution.   Concentration after the 1st dilution      Concentration after the 2nd dilution
Below is shown a growth curve for an E. coli culture. As indicated, the culture was incubated in the absence of a carbon source for 2 hours until Glucose and Lactose were added; Glucose was used up after 5 hours, and Lactose was used up after 8 hours. During the time-course, you take four samples, labeled A-D, after 1, 3, 7 and 9 hours, respectively, as indicated under the graph. Assuming there is cAMP present at t=0, for each sample identify whether CAP and/or the Lac Repressor would be bound to the DNA, and explain why.
