Chapter 7, Problem 4A

To determine the lethal action of microwave radiation, two 105 suspensions of E. coli were prepared. One cell suspension was exposed to microwave radiation while wet, whereas the other was lyophilized (freeze-dried) and then exposed to radiation. The results are shown in the following figure. Dashed lines indicate the temperature of the samples. What is the most likely method of lethal action of microwave radiation? How do you suppose these data might differ for Clostridium?

How would you make two-fold serial dilutions such that the last tube is a 1:32 dilution of the original, concentrated material?  Assume that you need to have at least 500 µl of each dilution, and you should be able to perform the dilutions in microfuge tubes with a maximum capacity of 1.5 ml.
You are cultivating Escherichia coli in a chemostat culture. The maximum specific growth rate (µmax) of E. coli that you can reach is known as 1.0 h-1 at your culture conditions. Describe what you would observe for each condition if you have the following settings:     F (flow rate of the fresh medium into the bioreactor vessel) (L/h) V (Volume of the liquid culture in the bioreactor vessel) (L) a) 1 1 b) 5 4 c) 1 2
The nutrient broth is a basic media used for growing a broad variety of microorganisms in the laboratory. The nutrient broth consists mainly of 1.5g * L ^ - 1 extract, 3g * L ^ - 1 yeast extract and 5g * L ^ - 1 sodium chloride dissolved in distilled water. The nutrient agar is prepared by adding the agar at the desired amount into nutrient broth. Answer the following questions. marks) a) How would you prepare a 500 ml nutrient broth? b) How would you prepare 2% (w / v) nutrient agar for 1L? c) How would you prepare a 100 ml nutrient broth supplemented with 100mu * g / m * l ampicillin antibiotic? The stock concentration for ampicillin solution is 100mg / m * l .
