4. (5 points) We have conducted a similar experiment and generated the following results using E. coli grown in Nutrient Broth. On the semi-log graph paper, plot the results, draw a growth curve and label the graph and label each phase of growth. Note we must plot CFU/mL on a logarithmic scale, because the cells are growing exponentially. Time Sample taken Time after CFU/ml inoculation 8 am 0 $2 \times 10^6$ 9 am 1 $3.5 \times 10^6$ 10 am 2 $2.1 \times 10^7$ 11 am 3 $7.8 \times 10^7$ 12 pm 4 $2.75 \times 10^8$ 1 pm 5 $3.1 \times 10^9$ 2 pm 6 $4.3 \times 10^9$ 3 pm 7 $3.9 \times 10^9$ 4 pm 8 $4 \times 10^9$

Step 1
First, we need to organize the data given in the question. It seems that some data is missing or not clear. However, we can still work with the available data. Time (hours) | CFU/mL -------------|--------- 0 | 2x10^3 4 | 35x10^4 8 Show more…

Cell growth kinetics (EXCEL file): Consider the exponential growth of a bacterium in a batch culture. The data provided in Table P5.1 below represent the cell concentrations from the time of batch inoculation to the time of the end of exponential growth (entrance into stationary phase). In an EXCEL file, plot the data to represent the exponential growth, being sure to use a logarithmic y-axis. Also, calculate the growth rate μNET (hours ⁻¹), the doubling time τD (hours), and the number of cell generations in the 16 hours of growth. Table P5-1 Batch Culture Cell Growth Data Time (hrs) | Cell Concentration (gr dry wt / L) 0 | 0.09 4 | 0.17 8 | 0.30 12 | 0.55 16 | 1.00

Use the growth curve below to answer the following questions. 1.2 Determine the generation time for bacterium A and B (0.5 point) b. Which bacterium has the longest lag? (0.5 pt) Which bacteria have induced the stringent response? (0.5 point) d. Which bacterium has the lowest yield? (0.5 point) e: Anna decides to grow bacterium A using continuous culture. Provide a diagram illustrating the growth of bacterium A as a function of the dilution rate on the plot below: Label the washout point on your diagram and indicate where the cells are in steady state?
