- In the this figure showing a microbial death curve, what is the Decimal Reduction Time for the microbe being killed? Plotting the typical microbial death curve logarithmically (red line) results in a straight line. Log10 of number of surviving cells 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 1 One log decrease = 90% of population killed 3 Time (min) 2 3 minutes 6 minutes 1 minute 24 minutes 4 5 T 6 1,000,000 750,000 500,000 250,000 100,000 Arithmetic number of surviving cells Cannot be determined from grapharrow_forwardBiofilms are a community of microorganisms that can colonize surfaces and are located in a wide variety of places. Provide some information regarding biofilms that you read about in your textbook, on the internet (use a valid resource site), or any other source that you found related to biofilms in general. This can include characteristics, types of organisms that may be present, locations, what type of outcome they can lead to, etc. This particular topic has a lot of information overall, so write about something you fınd interesting!arrow_forwardBecause so few organisms can be successfully cultivated in the laboratory, studying only those that have been isolated often does not give an accurate picture of what actually happens in nature. Discuss why is that so and give an alternative approach to study the microbial community.arrow_forward
