Two cultures of a facultative anaerobe are grown in the same medium, but one culture is exposed to air and the other is maintained under anaerobic conditions. Which of the two cultures will contain more cells at the end of a week? Why?
E. coli, a facultative anaerobe, is grown for 24 hours on the same type of solid medium, but under two different conditions: one aerobic, the other anaerobic. The size of the colonies would bea) the same under both conditions.b) larger when grown under aerobic conditions.c) larger when grown under anaerobic conditions.
a) Draw the diagram and describe motility required for the bacteria that have flagella to an attractant (light)? b) Draw the diagram of the two-chamber microbial fuel cell under continuous operation and label completely.

- Two flasks of E. coli are grown in batch culture in the same medium (2% glucose and amino acids; no nitrate) and at the same temperature (378C). 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_forwardWhy might clinical medicine have an interest in understanding bacterial cell division at the molecular level?
