Draw a line on the graph of pulse-chase experiment when Taxol is included in the medium showing the expected results, and give reasons for them. Introduction: Taxol is the chemical extracted from the bark of the tree Pacific yew and used as a drug to treat cancer as it inhibits the depolymerization of microtubules during the anaphase stage of the cell cycle. The asynchronous culture is the culture in which the cells are distributed randomly in different stages of the cell cycle. The graph showing the result of the pulse-chase experiment is shown below. The cells labeled with radioactive thymidine were tracked and are indicated by the red color line.

In order to establish the expiration date of perishable food, growth curve data must be collected. Once the microbial load is so high that it poses a hazard to human health, the food item is no longer considered safe (expired). Generally a load of x50,000 bacteria/gram is considered unsafe. Your task is to determine the microbial growth curves for MicroYo, a new brand of yogurt. The growth is determined by sampling the yogurt and growing the bacterial isolates in broth culture which is then serially diluted by a total of x10,000 and inoculated onto standard petri plates of nutrient agar. The following colony counts are measured: Time (days) MicroYo colony count# 1 1 4 1 12 2 16 20 4 7 What day should you recommend expiring the yogurt (the last possible date before the microbial load is unsafe). 12 4 20 16
