A culture of S. cerevisea has an overnight OD of 2.3 (1.0 OD is approx 1.0x107 cells/ml) You will be plating 100µl onto agar and want the final count of colonies on the plate to be around 300 colonies. How much of the 2.3 OD culture must you use to get a 500µl subdilution (with sterile water), so that you have diluted enough to get approx 300 colonies per 100ul
The cell concentration measured in samples taken at certain intervals from a microorganism growth medium is given below. Calculate the doubling time and specific growth rate of this microorganism.
You are cultivating Escherichia coli in a chemostat culture. The maximum specific growth rate (µmax) of E. coli that you can reach is known as 1.0 h-1 at your culture conditions. Describe what you would observe for each condition if you have the following settings: F (flow rate of the fresh medium into the bioreactor vessel) (L/h) V (Volume of the liquid culture in the bioreactor vessel) (L) a) 1 1 b) 5 4 c) 1 2
E. coli has a doubling time of 0.345 hours at 37 0C. Starting with 1 milligram of cells, assuming a lag phase of 30 minutes and a stationary phase of 30 minutes, what number of cells would you expect at the end of 13h, assuming that besides the lag and stationary phases the culture is continuously in exponential phase. Assume that ln (2) = 0.69 and that the mass of a single cell is 10^(-12) g.
Please note that these counts have all been done with Trypan Blue. Therefore, all cultures have been diluted two-fold (equal volume of cell suspension + equal volume of Trypan Blue). Take this into account when determining cell number. Any dilution listed in table is an additional dilution. Live and dead cells listed below represent the total number of cells in 5 large counting squares. *1 x 105 cells/ml cells were seeded into each well of the 24 well plate(s) on day 0 to begin the growth study. Plot this value at the zero time point on your graph.1These numbers represent the total number of cells counted in 5 large squares from three separate counts.
Two flasks of E. coli are grown in batch culture in the same medium (2% glucose and amino acids; no nitrate) and at the same temperature (378C). Culture #1 is well aerated. Culture #2 is anoxic. After 16 hours the following observations are made: ■ Culture #1 has a high cell density; the cells appear to be in stationary phase, and the glucose level in the medium is reduced to 1.2%. ■ Culture #2 has a low cell density; the cells appear to be in logarithmic phase, although their doubling time is prolonged (over 1 hour). The glucose level is reduced to 0.2%. Why does culture #2 have so little glucose remaining relative to culture #1, even though culture #2 displayed slower growth and has less biomass?
Aspergillus can be used to produce α-amylase (α-AM), which is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the glycosidic bonds in starch molecules into maltose (disaccharide). Pure α-AM has a specific activity of 56.00 U/mg. The α-AM is secreted into the culture media during production (after 5 days, production is complete). Following, the Aspergilluscells are separated by centrifugation and discarded. The culture supernatant (with α-AM) is filtered giving a clarified supernatant with a volume of 100.0 L, activity of 3.00 U/mL, and total protein concentration of 0.650 mg/mL. After purification, the product stream (7.50 L) contains α-AM (25.00 U/mL) and a total of 6.788 x 103 mg total protein. Calculate the following: Concentration of total protein (g/L) and total units of activity in the clarified supernatant and purification product stream. Specific activities (U/g) of the clarified supernatant and purification product stream. Consider significant figures in your answers (may want to use scientific…

Yeast cells are added to a 3.0 L batch bioreactor so that the initial cell concentration is [X]. = 1.3 g cells / L. The growth mediğim in the reactor, which is well-mixed so the cells have access to all nutrients, contains 150 g CELL DATA ribose (C5H10O5, MW 150), 75 g ammonia (NH3, MW 17), and 85 g oxygen (O2, MW 32).
