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.
t /g = (Log Nt – Log N0) /0.301
I introduce a loopful of Escherichia coli cells (say, 1000) into 10 mL of Nutrient Broth at 8 p.m. the night before your lab. The cells were taken from a culture plate (Nutrient Agar) held at 37°C, and inoculated into broth at the same temperature. They were held at 37°C overnight in a shaking water bath. At what time would the culture reach the Stationary Phase? Recall that doubling time under optimal conditions (these are) is 20 minutes.
A growing bacterial culture has 10,000 CFU/mL at noon and 10,000,000 CFU/mL at 6 p.m. What is the generation time under these conditions? What are your assumptions?
At midnight you inoculate 10 mL of a culture of Enterococcus with 103 cells/mL into 990 mL of the same medium, held under the same conditions as the original culture. At what time would the culture reach 107 cells/mL? Assume exponential growth over the period. Assume that g=half an hour. Note: We worked a different variant of this problem in…
