Consider an LB broth flask into which two E. coli strains are inoculated. Strain "A" is wild-type, with g = 22 min at 37oC, and 45 min at 27oC. Strain "B" has a temperature-sensitive mutation, such that g = 52 min at 37oC, but at 27oC g = 44 min.We inoculate equal amounts of cells (1 ml of each starter culture whose population is 1 x 106 cfu/ml) into each of two separate 1 liter volumes of LB broth at time = 0. One of the flasks is incubated at 37oC, one at 27oC.Assuming constant exponential growth (i.e. no lag phase, and no exhaustion of nutrients), answer each of these questions:
1) After 6 hours of growth, what is the final concentration of each strain in each flask?
2) What fraction of the total population is Strain A and Strain B in each flask?
