Bacterial growth is majorly depend on the external environmental factors i.e., physical factors like presence of nutrients etc. In general, doubling time of E. coli is 40 minutes.
1. If generation time of bacteria is reducing on media changing then DNA polymerase activity would come towards normal due to presence of all necessary factors for division.
2.As we know DNA replication in E.coli occurs at single origin of replication. Presence of more nutrients will not change this process.
3. Cell division will also remain same.
4. Yes, generation time can change. Doubling time or generation time for bacteria (E. coli) is dependent on presence of nutrients for bacteria.
If E. coli is grown under conditions that maintain a generation time of 80 minutes and...
10. Assume that a strain of E. coli is grown for many generations in SN, a heavy isotope of nitrogen (14N). Under this condition, assume that the DNA has a density of 1.723 gm/cm (with water being 1.00 gm/cm'). Assume that DNA containing only I'N has a density of 1.700. Bacteria from the SN culture were washed in buffer and transferred to 4N medium for one generation. DNA was extracted. a. What would the expected density of the extracted DNA?...
E. Coli has a doubling time of 20 minutes under certain growth conditions. Compute the biomass of E. coli (in pounds) that will accumulate when a single cell of E. coli grows exponentially for 50 hours in these conditions, assuming that nutrients are not limiting. Show your work. (An E. Coli cell has a mass of 10-12gram/cell).
I need help with these questions for microbiology class. inoculated a culture tube with 2 cells of E.coli. IfE. coli has a generation time of 60 minutes under the conditions at which the culture is stored, how many cells would be in the culture tube when she comes back 6 hours later? Hint: You do not need a calculator for this. If you are thinking you de. you are doing it incorrectlv. It is simple arithmetic 1 What kind of...
Thank you!! Question 59 1 pts Under experimental conditions, cells grown in a medium containing thymine would incorporate thymine into their DNA. If cells grown for a number of generations in a medium containing radioactive thymine were removed from this medium and allowed to replicate once using thymine that was not radioactive, what percent of these cells would now be radioactive? 100% 50% 0% 25%
E. coli is grown in nutrient broth in a shaker and is harvested by centrifugation in mid- exponential growth phase. After washing, half of the cells are placed back into fresh nutrient broth and the other half are placed into fresh glucose-salts minimal medium. All other conditions are kept the same Sketch growth curves for the two cultures that clearly diagram the probable differences one would observe.
Consider a culture of E. coli growing in exponential phase with a generation time of 20 minutes. Beginning with 2 x 106 cells per ml, how long will it take the culture to reach a density of about 3.2 x 107 cells per ml?
A culture of 10 bacteria of Escherichia coli has a generation time of 30 minutes at 35 degrees Celsius. After 5 hours at this temperature, how many bacteria would you expect to see?" a. "10,240" b. 50 c. "1,000" d. 320 e. "10,000,000,000"
Below is a table of results of E. coli grown in in nutrient broth (NB) and minimal medium (MM) over 220 min.

Please need help answering question A the pages of background information are posted thanks Read page 196-197 and figure 6.20. regarding Meselson and Stahl’s experiment regarding DNA replication. And Answer the following question If you are using this radioactive technique in mouse cells, what would happen in each phase of G1, S, G2, mitosis and meiosis assuming that you are grown cells in 15N medium for many generations and cells in G1are then switched to 14N medium? G1 S G2...
If the genotype ratio of the offspring F1 generation are 1 RR : 2 Rr: 1 rr, the genotpes of the P generation are: RR x Rr Rr x rr RR x rr RR x RR Cell division by meiosis results in 2 haploid cells 4 diploid cells 1 daughter cell 4 haploid cells If an egg of a female rhino is 24 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would be found in a skin cell? 24 48 6 46 DNA polymerase...
