Two liquid culture flasks of E. coli are grown in the same medium (2% glucose and amino acids) and at the same temperature (37°C). Culture #1 is well aerated. Culture #2 is anoxic. After 16 hours, the following observations are made: • Culture # 1 has a high cell density; the cells appear to be in stationary phase, and the glucose level in the medium is reduced to 1.2%. • Culture #2 has a low cell density; the cells appear to be in logarithmic phase, although their doubling time is prolonged (over 1 hour). The glucose level is reduced to 0.2%. Why does Culture #2 have so little glucose remaining relative to Culture #1, even though Culture #2 displayed slower growth and has less biomass?arrow_forward
