alright let's give this a shot this is what I found just looking around. Tanner, Shape and Size of Bacterial Cells: Bacteriology, Fourth Edition, New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1948: 78-79."Kendell has stated that 1,600,000,000 cells of Escherichia coli would weigh a gram."6.25 × 10-10g

But that is 1.6 billion so let's see if algebra has failed me ok 1.6^9/1/0^9=1g/x it came out to x=5/8 so 1 billion bacteria of the E coli nature would weigh in at 5/8 g. I hope this helped!
