You are attempting to grow a culture of Escherichia coli to use in an experiment, and you need the culture to reach 106 cells/mL before you can use them. In your lab, E. coli doubles every 25 minutes. How long will it take a culture you inoculate at 102 cells/ml to grow up to your desired density? About 7 hours About five and a half hours About an hour and a half About 3 hours

You have are diluting down a concentrated stock of bacteria in order to grow them. Starting with 2.1 x 105 cells/mL, you will dilute down to 1 x 103 cells/mL. How much of the bacteria will you use to make 100mL of diluted bacteria. We dilute these bacteria with a growth medium called ‘broth’ (its like Gatorade for the cells). How much broth?
You measure your E. coli and find them to have an OD600 of 1.20. You have 50 ml of culture, and you know that there are 2.5x109 cells per 1.0 OD600. Based on this information, how many E. coli cells are present in the culture you’re about to centrifuge?
Calculate the doubling time of a culture of E. coli that is started with 3x105 CFU/mL and grows to 4.6x108 CFU/mL in 3 hours. Be sure to use units in your answer.
The bacterium Dontuplodemeus tocheggus has a generation time of 20 minutes. Starting with one cell in 500 mL of culture medium, how many minutes would it take to reach a cell density of approximately one million cells per mL? Assume all cells remain viable. a. 330 b. 660 c. 380 d. 400 e. 580
In an experiment to calculate the decimal reduction time for an Escherichia coli culture, viable cells were exposed to a constant temperature of 80°C for a set amount of time. After exposure, the remaining number of surviving cells were counted. Based on Table 1, what is the decimal reduction time?Table 1. Decimal Reduction Time for E. coli Heated to 80°C Total time of exposure (minutes): Number of Microbial Cells Present: 0 100 1 80 3 50 4 42 6.5 26 13 10 21 0
A bacterium has a generation time of 30 minutes. You transfer cells from an exponentially growing culture to a fresh source of the same medium so that the freshly inoculated medium contains 3.2 x 106 cells per milliliter. This new culture does not exhibit a lag phase. About how many cells (per milliliter) should you have after 1.5 hours incubation?? Solve this step by step and by using formula
Calculate the generation time in a growth experiment in which a medium was inoculated with 5 X 106 cells/mL of E. coli cells and following a 1 hour lag, grew exponentially for 5 hours, after which the population was 5.4 X 109cells/mL
