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.

- Create a graph of this spectrophotometric data (using Excel or the graph paper below), labeling the four stages of the growth curve- lag, log (exponential), stationary, death. Be sure to label your axes properly and give your graph a title Time Culture Sampled % Absorbance 0 min 5% 30min 7% 60min 9% 90min 15% 120min 25% 150min 37% 180min 49% 210min 50% 240min 49% 270min…As shown in this diagram, you perform a ten-fold serial dilution of a culture to determine the number of colony forming units (CFU) per mL it contains. You do a plate count with these growth results (no. of colonies for each dilution): 1:10 too many to count; 1:100 too many to count; 1:1,000 312; 1:10,000 38; 1:100,000 no growth. The number of CFU per mL in the original culture was: A. 38 B. 380,000 C. 38,000 D. None of the other four answers (Correct answer not given) E. 10,000Calculate the growth rate and generation time of a culture that increases in the exponential phase from 5x102 to1x108 cells in 12 hours
- An inoculum of 106 bacterial cells was introduced into a flask of culture medium and growth monitored. No change was seen for 18 minutes (the lag phase), then growth occurred rapidly. After a further 87 minutes, the population had increased to 5.08 × 107 cells. What is the doubling time of the culture? Show your solution. (The 87-minute period is after the lag phase.)Calculate the growth rate and generation time of a culture that increases in the exponential phase from 5 x 102 to 1 x 108 cells in 12 hours.Assume an inoculum with a cell density of 108 cells per mL. The entire generation time takes 30 minutes. How many hours would it take to grow a culture to 108/mL if you started with a 10–2 dilution? helpful formula: g (generation time) = 0.301 (time)/ log x – log xo
- A microbiologist has isolated a new strain of bacteria, and is trying to characterize aspects of its growth. Three flasks of the same media have different amounts of NaCl added. Other growth conditions are identical, and the flasks inoculated at the same time. At regular intervals over a 3 hour period, culture samples are taken and turbidity is measured.

The bacteria were incubated in bacterial growth medium + disinfectant for 24 hours, then one loopful of the mixture was transferred to fresh medium without the disinfectant (subculturing) and incubating the subculture. The initial culture and subcultures were evaluated for growth after incubation. (+ = growth; - = no growth) Dilution Initial Subculture 1:2 - - 1:4 - - 1:8 - + 1:16 + + 1:32 + + Based on these results, which of the following statements is true regarding the effectiveness of this disinfectant against this bacterium? The disinfectant is bacteriostatic at 1:4 dilution. The disinfectant is bacteriostatic at 1:2 dilution. The disinfectant is NOT bacteriostatic at any of the dilutions tested. The disinfectant is bacteriostatic at 1:8 dilution. The disinfectant is bacteriostatic at 1:16 dilution.A medium containing an abundance of substrate was seeded with 20 mg/L VSS of an active mixed culture. After 8.0 hours, the VSS concentration was measured at 590 mg/L. Data indicate that there was a lag time of 0.5 hours. Assuming log growth, what is the average generation time of this culture?
