65. A bacterial strain is grown in nutrient medium at 37°C under aerobic conditions. The medium is inoculated with 10^2 cells from a seed culture. If the number of cells in the culture is 10^5 after 10 hours of growth, the doubling time of the strain (rounded off to nearest integer) is _______ h.

A culture of the bacterium Salmonella enteritidis initially contains 50 cells. When introduced into a nutrient broth, the culture grows at a rate proportional to its size. After 1.5 hours, the population has increased to 875. (a) Find an expression for the number of bacteria after t hours. (Round your numeric values to four decimal places.) P(t) = (b) Find the number of bacteria after 7 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) P(7) = bacteria (c) Find the rate of growth (in bacteria per hour) after 7 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) P'(7)= bacteria per hour (d) After how many hours will the population reach 250,000? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) t = hr
