Calculate the mean growth rate and generation time of a culturethat increases from 5x10² cells to 1x10^8 cells in 12 hours |
|
Answer» ...The MEAN growth rate is 1 hour...Explanation:......The rate of exponential growth of a bacterial culture is expressed as generation time, also the doubling time of the bacterial POPULATION. Generation time (G) is DEFINED as the time (t) per generation (n = number of generations)... Hence, G=t/n is the equation from which calculations of generation time (below) derive... |
