A bacteria gives birth to two new bacteria in each second and the life span of each bacteria is 5 seconds. The process of the reproduction is continuous until the death of the bacteria. initially there is one newly born bacteria at time t = 0, the find the total number of live bacteria just after 10 seconds :
Essentially in an experiment involving bacteria, we measure Optical density of the media where the bacteria grow at different time point from the same flask. If we have 2 or more types of bacteria and want to investigate whether the growth curve of those bacteria are significantly different, what do you think the best analysis can be applied for this purpose?
A continuous process is set up for treatment of wastewater. Each day, 103 kg cellulose and 105 kg bacteria enter in the feed stream, while 102 kg cellulose and 1.5 x 102 kg bacteria leave in the effluent. The rate of cellulose digestion by the bacteria is 8 x 102 kg d-1. The rate of bacterial growth is 4x 102 kg d-l; the rate of cell death by lysis is 6 x 102 kg d-1. Write balances for cellulose and bacteria in the system.
