Summary Introduction

To review:

The doubling time of a bacteria that colonizes a plant root and become 10,000 in number starting from 1 in 120 hours.

Introduction:

The time period in which the number of bacteria doubles is termed as the doubling time. The bacteria show an exponential growth pattern in batch culture. The stages involved are named as lag phase, log phase, stationary phase, and decline phase. The bacterial cell becomes adapted to the growth conditions in the lag phase while actual cell division takes place in the log phase.

In a petri dish with solidified agar with escherichia coli, enterobacter aerogenes and staphylococcus aureus, you streak a loopfull of lytic T4-phage in a single line onto the center of the the dish, how do you know if bacteriophage infected the bacteria. why didn't the bacteriophage infect all 3 bacteria?
Why is it favorable for protozoa to replicate with schizogony versus using simple mitosis? what are the different scenarios that can occur with regards to bacterial growth within a thioglycolate tube? Explain why certain bacteria require one classification versus a different classification. A botanist has been using betaproteobacteria to grow his herb garden, because betaproteobacteria require little nutrients to grow. His garden does not grow successfully, so he comes to you for help to develop the herb garden.  Which class of gram negative bacteria would you suggest and why?  Why was the botanist’s original idea not going to work?
a. If an egg salad sandwich sitting in a warm car for 4 hours develops 40,960bacterial cells, how many more cells would result in just one more generation?                                                                                                            b. What would the cell count be after 4 hours if the initial bacterial dose was 100?c. What do your answers tell you about using clean techniques in food preparation and storage (other than esthetic considerations)?
