Growth Rate Constant of Bacteria Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Growth Rate Constant = log2(No. of Bacteria at time t/Initial No. of Bacteria)/Time for bacteria
k = log2(N_t/N₀)/T
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

log2 - The binary logarithm (or log base 2) is the power to which the number 2 must be raised to obtain the value n., log2(Number)

Variables Used

Growth Rate Constant - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - The growth rate constant (k) is the number of generations per unit of time.
No. of Bacteria at time t - The No. of Bacteria at time t is growth of the bacteria through time (t).
Initial No. of Bacteria - The Initial No. of Bacteria is the amount of bacteria at the start of the culture.
Time for bacteria - (Measured in Second) - Time for bacteria is the time span for the development of bacteria.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

No. of Bacteria at time t: 100 --> No Conversion Required
Initial No. of Bacteria: 50 --> No Conversion Required
Time for bacteria: 10.5 Second --> 10.5 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k = log2(N_t/N₀)/T --> log2(100/50)/10.5

Evaluating ... ...

k = 0.0952380952380952

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0952380952380952 1 Per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0952380952380952 ≈ 0.095238 1 Per Second <-- Growth Rate Constant

(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)

What is Bacterial Growth?

Bacterial growth is proliferation of bacterium into two daughter cells, in a process called binary fission. Providing no event occurs, the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell. Hence, bacterial growth occurs. Both daughter cells from the division do not necessarily survive.

How to Calculate Growth Rate Constant of Bacteria?

Growth Rate Constant of Bacteria calculator uses Growth Rate Constant = log2(No. of Bacteria at time t/Initial No. of Bacteria)/Time for bacteria to calculate the Growth Rate Constant, The Growth rate constant of bacteria formula is defined as the rate of exponential growth of the bacteria in a culture. Growth Rate Constant is denoted by k symbol.

How to calculate Growth Rate Constant of Bacteria using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Growth Rate Constant of Bacteria, enter No. of Bacteria at time t (N_t), Initial No. of Bacteria (N₀) & Time for bacteria (T) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Growth Rate Constant of Bacteria calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.095238 = log2(100/50)/10.5.

FAQ

What is Growth Rate Constant of Bacteria?
