t /g = (Log Nt – Log N0) /0.301 I introduce a loopful of Escherichia coli cells (say, 1000) into 10 mL of Nutrient Broth at 8 p.m. the night before your lab. The cells were taken from a culture plate (Nutrient Agar) held at 37°C, and inoculated into broth at the same temperature. They were held at 37°C overnight in a shaking water bath. At what time would the culture reach the Stationary Phase? Recall that doubling time under optimal conditions (these are) is 20 minutes. A growing bacterial culture has 10,000 CFU/mL at noon and 10,000,000 CFU/mL at 6 p.m. What is the generation time under these conditions? What are your assumptions? At midnight you inoculate 10 mL of a culture of Enterococcus with 103 cells/mL into 990 mL of the same medium, held under the same conditions as the original culture. At what time would the culture reach 107 cells/mL? Assume exponential growth over the period. Assume that g=half an hour. Note: We worked a different variant of this problem in…

Given the scenario, compute for the total volume of the culture media solution (milliliter or liter) and dehydrated media (grams). Scenario: The students of a Microbiology class were tasked to transfer or subculture a pure culture of Escherichia coli bacterium in five 7 mL nutrient broth and five petri dishes of nutrient agar with 20 mL capacity each. Based on the instruction bottles for nutrient broth and nutrient agar, preparation of the culture media is as follows. Nutrient broth: 8 g/liter Nutrient agar: 28 g/liter Formula: C1V1 = C2V2 *Concentration *Volume Computation: What are the answers to the following. Weight in grams of nutrient broth: _________ Distilled water in mL for nutrient broth: __________ Weight in grams of nutrient agar __________ Distilled water in mL for nutrient agar: ____________

Identify which antibiotic was used per set-up (see figure). Describe the result in the graphs provided to help you explain your answer. Listed below are some essential information.Antibiotic A: 0.5 kDa protein, targets peptidoglycanAntibiotic B: 20 kDa protein, targets peptidoglycanAntibiotic C: Cationic antimicrobial peptideAntibiotic D: Targets lipopolysaccharideStaphylococcus aureus: gram-positive bacteriumVibrio cholera: gram-negative bacteriumMethanosarcina: an archaean bacteriumCationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs): these positively charged antibiotics are attracted to the negatively charged cell wall and membrane. They are hydrophobic, and they insert into the membranes to create pores.

Background info: The cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis, colloquially known as Spirulina is/was a popular health food/supplement because it is extremely rich in amino acids and vitamins. However, these cyanobacteria also happen to be extremely good at absorbing lead, which means that these supplements are often contaminated with toxic amounts of heavy metals. One suggested application for these cyanobacteria is in bioremediation systems for industrial/mining wastewater contaminated with lead Question: The way that this application would work is that you’d have a sealed concrete pond full of the cyanobacteria that wastewater would flow into and then as the wastewater flows out the other end of the pond, the cyanobacteria are removed. How would this work to remove lead from the water?
