Bacteria grown in a lab experience what is called an 'exponential phase' of population growth. Suppose that, during this phase, a colony of Mycobacterium tuberculosis you are growing has a per capita growth rate, r, of 0.063 per hour. If the size of your colony at the start of the exponential phase is 0.25 billion cells, then approximately how large will it be in 48 hours? ?? billion cells

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?
a. For an exponentially growing population, calculate μmax (units?) based on the data belowb. Calculate the specific growth rate (μ) of the population above growing at a substrate concentration of 25 mg/L according to Monod kinetics with a ks of 50 mg/L.c. Consider two genetically engineered organisms intended for use in the cleanup of hydrocarbon spills into the ocean. Bacterium alpha has a μmax of 1 d-1 and a ks of 0.1 mg/L. Bacterium beta has a μmax of 5 d-1 and a ks of 5 mg/L. If the hydrocarbon concentration is initially 1000 mg/L and the desired objective is to reduce concentrations below 0.1 mg/L what order of addition of the bacterial species is desired?

39. Mites are common pests on individual fence lizards. Mites are observed to bite fence lizards to draw a blood meal, which increases mite population growth rates. Fence lizards respond by scratching their heads to remove mites. The population growth rate of fence lizards is not impacted by this interaction although it appears to be negative for the fence lizards that have mites. What is the best explanation to account for the population growth pattern in fence lizards. a. the interaction is a +, - interaction b. the interaction is at the organism level c. the interaction is a altruism d. the interaction is at the population level e. the interaction is a mutualism
