Consider the growth curve shown below. Cells were grown in a medium containing 1 % w/v glucose and 0.5% w/v acetate. Calculate the generation time when growing on glucose and also when growing on acetate. Pay particular attention to the split time axis with different time scales. Glucose generation time = hrs Acetate generation time = hrs 1011, 1010- 109 bacteria

Two microorganisms that use naphthalene as a food source have the same Umax but different Ks values for naphthalene. If both types of microorganisms are inoculated at the same cell density into a liquid culture containing naphthalene as the sole carbon source (i.e. the only food source), which microorganism will outcompete the other: the one with the higher Ks or the one with the lower Ks. Why?.

A bacterial culture is grown using either octadecane (C18H38) or pentachlorophenol (C6HOCl5)) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The cell yield value is determined by dry weight analysis to be 1.49 for octadecane and 0.05 for pentachlorophenol. Using either octadecane or pentachlorophenol, please describe the steps taken (and the final result) showing what percentage of the substrate carbon will be found as cell mass and as CO2? Please show all calculations.
