1.) If we started with a culture containing 2,000 cells in a total of 3mL of broth and have exponential growth immediately at a rate of 30 minutes per generation, what is the theoretical population after 3 hours? (show your work)

My answer: 128,000 cells

2.) What would be the concentration of cells in the culture from question #1 at 3 hours? (show your work)

***I think I answered #1 correctly, but I am lost on how to answer #2. Please help!

Solution

2.. cell concentration or microbial cell count, is the number of cells in a milliliter (mL) of liquid or in a gram (g) of solid material.so here the concentration of cells in the culture is same and contains 128000.
