Question
Chapter 54, Problem 6IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for converging growth rate on zero.
Introduction: Growth is process of permanent increase in size, number and complexity of an organism. The growth rate is the rate at which the number of organisms in the population increases.

Which point has the gatest growth rate(r)?
What is the published generation time (otherwise known as doubling time) for
Escherichia coli? How does the documented time compare to the generation time you
calculated from your growth curve with this organism? If significantly different, what
factors might have contributed to the difference?
Calculate doubling time (td) and specific growth rate (μ) by using logarithmic growth stage.
