Chapter 9, Problem 3CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Time taken in reduction of 100 (1014) to 10 viable cells.
Introduction:
Sterilization by heat is one of the key factors in eradicating the microbes. The heat has the capability to denature the microbes' proteins, altering their cell wall, and causing irreversible damage to their

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.
So, starting with a culture of 1000 E. coli, how many would I obtain after 16h of ideal growth conditions?
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?
