Given a log phase bacterial culture with 1 x 10^6 cells per ml and a generation time of 30 minutes how long does it take the culture to reach a density of 6.4 x 10^7 cells per ml?
Assume an inoculum with a cell density of 108 cells per mL. The entire generation time takes 30 minutes. How many hours would it take to grow a culture to 108/mL if you started with a 10–2 dilution?
helpful formula:
g (generation time) = 0.301 (time)/ log x – log xo
There are two cultures of yeast cells in the pictures, one has been incubated for 6 hours and one has been incubated for 24 hours. After a 10x dilution by taking 100µl of each culture and adding it to 900 µl water in a microcentrifuge tube and 100µl sample from the tube was taken to view in the counting chamber.
a) Count the total number of yeast cells for each culture respectively
b) Calculate the concentration and density of yeast cells for each culture respectively

G = t/n to calculate generation time (i.e. for population to double) During the growth of the culture, periodic observations of the cells under the microscope have revealed the occurrence of typical rod-shaped cells. However, after further incubation, they appeared to change their morphology to form small oval or spherical-shaped structures. What do these structures likely represent? And what are the likely factors contributing to this observation? Explain what growth phase this culture will be in.arrow_forward
