Stationaryphase/ The number of new cells produced equals number of cells dying b. Death phase/ Cells lose their ability to divide and die c. Lag phase/ Organisms are metabolically active but not increasing in cell number d. Log phase/ Organisms divide at an exponential rate with constant generation time e. Chemostat/ Continuous addition of fresh medium, which allows cultures to be maintainedarrow_forwardA microbiologist inoculated a flask of nutrient broth with E. coli. The bacterial population entered exponential phase at 11:30 pm and divided every 60 min. At 6:30 am, the culture entered stationary phase with a population of 100,000,000 bacteria mL-¹. At what time was the population 50,000,000 bacteria mL-¹? 5:30 am 12:30 am 4:30 am O Can not be determined from the information given. 3:30 amarrow_forward

E. coliarrow_forwardIn the experiments below, different prokaryotic cells were grown in broth cultures in the presence or absence of an antibiotic (either vancomycin or polymixin) After 1 hour, cells were rinsed, and the percent of bacteria that survived was determined. According to the data, which experiment (A or B) was done with vancomycin and which was done with polymyxin? Explain your reasoning in both cases. 100 0 A Bacillus E. coli with antibiotic without antibiotic B Methanoge n 100 Bacillus E. coli Methanogenarrow_forwardD A 5. What conclusion can you draw from the images of E. coli cells (above) taken from a culture in Stage C/D of the graph? A. The cell on the left is probably starving C. The cells will eventually make an endospore to survive D. The cell on the left is dead B. The cell on the right is starving E. Both cells will divide 6. Microbe X is producing 38 ATP per glucose while Microbe Y is producing 2 ATP per glucose. Which of these statements is most likely true? Choose all that apply. A. Microbe Y is probably fermenting sugar B. Microbe X is switching between O2 and NO3 in respiration C. phosphofructokinase is more likely to be inhibited in Microbe Y than Microbe X D. Microbe Y is probably growing anaerobically E. Microbe X is mostly relying on substrate-level phosphorylation H* innnde H* Na+ Na* Cytoplasm periplasm 7.
