Summary Introduction
To review:
The doubling time in case an exponentially growing culture has an optical density (OD) at 600
nanometers (nm)Â (OD600) of 0.2 after 30 minutes and OD600 of 0.8 after 80 minutes.
Introduction:
The microbial cells undergo various types of reproduction such as binary fission, multiple fission, and budding. The bacterial cells can be grown on a culture medium under laboratory conditions. The growth pattern exhibited by dividing bacterial cells in a batch culture is exponential consisting of

Assume that you are adding 300 microliters of 1% substrate solution per well in a 24-well plate. If we can order 5 milligrams of fibronectin for $871.00, how much would it cost to have enough to use every well of the 24-well culture plate?
A culture of S. cerevisea has an overnight OD of 4.5
(1.0 OD is approx 1.0x107 cells/ml)
You will be plating 100µl onto agar and want the final count of colonies on the plate to be around 300 colonies.
How much of the 4.5 OD culture must you use to get a 500µl subdilution (with sterile water), so that you have diluted enough to get approx 300 colonies per 100ul
If you have a 15 mg/100 ml stock solution of GA3 and you need a 1 mg GA3 in 25 ml, how much stock solution would you add to 125 ml of medium?

The reactor used is a stirred-tank reactor with an initial volume of 100 L. The maximum specific rate of growth of the culture is 0.18 d-1 and the yield coefficient of substrate in biomass is 0.5 gX/gS. The concentration of the limiting substrate in the medium is 3% (m/v).
