In a laboratory setting, E. coli has a doubling time of 20 minutes.a) What is its growth rate, r?b) Assuming you start with only 2 cells, what will be the bacterial population after 24hourshave passed?
Log Nt = Log N0 – t/D. D is the time required for a log kill. A single dose of mouthwash is added to a bacterial culture with 10 million cells/mL and, after 30 minutes, one hundred thousand viable cells/mL remain. How many would survive at the end of 1.5 hours? Based on the equation, can you ever totally decimate the population? In a practical sense, when would you assume that all the cells are dead?
Bacteria reproduce by fission (splitting in two) and can respond very rapidly to environmental changes. A culture of bacteria is found to contain 4.95 X 109 bacteria and the carrying capacity of the culture is 5.0 X 109. How will the bacterial population change in the near future. Group of answer choices -it will increase very rapidly to K -it will increase very slowly to K -it will grow exponentiall -it will decrease very rapidly to K
The exponential and logistic growth models aren’t just for bacteria. They can be applied to many other types of populations, including human populations. 23. Do you think the global human population is experiencing exponentialgrowth or logistic growth? Why?
Suppose the generation time of a bacterium is 90 minutes and the number of cells in a culture is 103 cells at the start of the log phase. How many bacteria will there be after 8 hours of exponential growth?
You sample cole slaw for bacteria soon after purchase, and after it has been left out on the kitchen counter for 6 hours (room temperature), and after 12 hours (at room temperature). From the data below, CALCULATE the generation time of the bacteria in this sample (at room temperature) – that is, the time it takes for the bacterial population to double in number. Soon after purchase: 4.0 x 103 bacteria per mlAt 6 hours at Room Temperature: 1.9 x 105 bacteria per ml ( = 192 x 103 bacteria per ml)At 12 hours at Room Temperature: 1.2 x 107 bacteria per ml ( = 12,300 x 103 bacteria per ml) What do you calculate the generation time to be? (generation time is the time needed for the population to double in size ) Hint: What is double the initial population? Hint:…
A species of bacteria has a doubling time of 24 hours. After incubating the initial population for one week, the final population was 6,400 cells. What was the initial population of that bacteria? Show all work. Equations: Nt = No x 2n Final concentration = (initial concentration)/(total dilution factor) Total dilution factor = (individual dilution factor)# of serial dilutions
Is the exponential population growth of bacteria modelled best by a logarithmic or an exponential function? Why do you think this model fits so well?
A recent metagenomic study analyzed the microorganisms present on surfaces within the entire subwaysystem of New York City. The researchers found hundreds of bacterial species in the subway, most of themnonpathogenic. Interestingly, almost half of all DNAfound in the subway matches no known organism.a. The scientists found that different subway stationshad characteristic microbiomes. How might thisobservation be useful to the police?b. Because the majority of the subway DNA that couldbe identified was bacterial, the researchers presumethat most of the DNA fragments that could not bematched to a known organism are bacterial. Why doyou think that so many bacterial species are unknownto us? What feature of these unknown bacteriamight prevent us from studying them?
If you start out population density of 300 cfu/ml of a bacterium that divides every 20 minutes,what will be the population density after five generations assuming the cells are in the log phase of growth?
Aliivibrio fischeri is a marine bacterium that uses quorum sensing to regulate bioluminescence. These bacteria will only bioluminesce when the population is above a certain density. Why would it be advantageous to bioluminesce only when the population is large?
A mutation occurs in a single bacterium that causes it to produce a new enzyme. This enzyme helps the bacterium process nutrients more efficiently, increasing the bacterium's odds of survival. Every 30 minutes, the bacteria in the colony divide, passing their genes on to their offspring. Some bacteria survive, while others do not. Because resources are limited, the colony has a steady population of 114 bacteria. The bacterial colony is shown below at three different time intervals. Assume that the survival trend shown in the diagram continues. At 3.0 hours, the mutant bacteria will make up how many percent of the entire colony?
