A resarcher dilaybrobacter xylanophilus by a factor of 10 and plates 1mL of this dilution on 6 plates. After an appropriate period of growth, individual colonies are rown on each plate. The values are given below:
a) 83
b) 76
c) 96
d) 46
e) 55
f) 85
1. Determine the titer of the original culture.
2. Assuming the specific growth constant of R. xylanophilus is 0.27/hour, what is the generation time?
3. What will the titer of this culture be after 4 hours of growth?
