Bacteria grow in a nutrient solution at a rate proportional to the amount present. Initially, there are 250 strands of the bacteria in the solution which grows to 800 strands after seven hours. Show (a) an expression for the approximate number of strands in the culture at any time t and (b) the time needed for the bacteria to grow to 1600 strands.
Microbial Physiology
Microbial physiology is the branch of microbiology that is associated with studying the physiology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is an important field of science concerning functional genomics and metabolic engineering.
Chemotaxis
The organism’s movement in a particular direction as a response to certain chemicals that are available in the environment is defined as chemotaxis. In brief, it can be defined as the occurrence of an organism’s movement in response to a certain chemical stimulus.
Bacteria grow in a nutrient solution at a rate proportional to the amount present. Initially, there are 250
strands of the bacteria in the solution which grows to 800 strands after seven hours. Show (a) an
expression for the approximate number of strands in the culture at any time t and (b) the time needed for
the bacteria to grow to 1600 strands.
