Question 1

generation time and binary fission (often used together)

Answer 1

g=t/n

g=generation time
t=time intervals
n=#of intervals

Nt=N0 x 2^n

Nt= # of bacteria at end of selected time interval
N0= # of bacteria at beginning of selected time interval
n= # of generations (# of intervals)

Question 2

CFU/mL

Answer 2

CFU/mL= CFU/ (dilution factor x amount plated mL)
