. What is a typical pattern of growth of a bacterial population?
The correct answer is - B-
Explanation- The bacterial growth kinetics shows 4 stages- the lag phase(when the bacteria divides very less and also are less in number), followed by log phase(where the bacteria has all become very active and starts dividing by binary fission vigorously), followed by stationary phase(when the bacteria divide, but they also die-such that the death rate and division rate are same) and finally death phase(the bacterial population decreases--due to the accumulation of toxic products in the medium).

Below is a figure of a typical bacterial growth curve. Use this to answer the questions below. Log Cell number 6. What stage is labeled A? 7. Name two things that are happening at the genetic and/or molecular level in the cell at this stage if cells in stationary phase were transferred from a media containing glucose to one containing lactose. 8. If the culture used to generate the growth curve above was started with 300 bacterial cells (generation 0),...
a. Write down a differential equation for bacterial growth during the exponential phase (batch culture), where k is the instantaneous growth rate. b. Solve the equation. Your solution should be a continuous function that gives the number of cells as a function of time. c. Write an equation for the doubling time (generation time) in terms of k. d. Parameterize your equation as follows: Assume that you start with 10 cells, and that it takes each cell 30 minutes to...
8. What is false about this bacterial growth curve? A. B. (1) = axis scaled to the amount of energy present (2) = since antibiotics affect rapidly growing bacteria best, this is the phase where many organisms are the most sensitive to antibiotics. (3) = the lag phase where cell division is slow but is about to speed up. (4) = accumulation of of waste products and exhaustion of nutrients causes growth to slow down but the organisms are not...
theoretical example of exponential growth inter EXERCISE 1 Understanding Population Growth row in a prea logarithmictive capacity With optimal conditions (e.g., unrestricted resources and low competition), some populations grow in a predicable pattern. Early growth is relatively slow, after which growth is rapid. This rapid, logarithmic phase of growth represents the organism's blotic potential, which is its maximal reproductive capacity if given unlimited resources, exponential growth. N=(a)(21 Where: N = the number of individuals of a given generation. a =...

a) During the exponential phase of bacterial growth, the lab strain of E. coli has doubling time of about 30 minutes. If you start with 10,000 cells per mL of culture, and let them grow exponentially 2 hours in a flask, what is the final density of the culture? Show and explain your calculations. b) If you plated a100μL of 1:1000 dilution that culture (after it had grown in a flask for 2 hrs) how many colonies would you expect...
