Time in minutes
Determine the following:
1.
The shortest generation time (shortest cell doubling time, in mins) of the organism
2. The growth rate of the organism at the point where its generation time is shortest
3.
Describe the organism's growth curve using the numerical data you obtained from your calculations of
generation time and growth rate.
Cell numbers
Calculate doubling time (td) and specific growth rate (μ) by using logarithmic growth stage.
