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.

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…

- Menaquinones is produced by Flavobacterium meningosepticum via submerged fermentation with 60% working volume in 30-L fermentation. To obtain the crude menaquinones, the fermentation medium is centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 minutes. The vacuum-freeze dried particles are crushed and collected. After that the samples are treated with methanol for 20 minutes. To remove polar lipid compounds from bacterial cells, HZ816 macroporous adsorption resin column is used with methanol-dichloromethane (l:1) as mobile phase and flow rate of 0.75 mL/min. Rotary evaporation at 500 C is carried out to concentrate the eluent. After that, the concentrated sample is purified with Bio-BeadsTM S-X3 to remove components without UV absorption. To obtain the homolog purified menaquinones, RP-C18 column is used. Recrystallization is carried out to obtain pure crystalized menaquinones.
