Best Answer

After t hours the number of bacteria is 10*2t.

So 10*2t > 3000000

=> 2t > 300000

=> t(log2) > log(300000)

=> t > log(300000)/(log2)

=> t > 18.19..

So in just over 18 hours (or 18 hours and 12 minutes, approx).

Double time in microbiology?

In microbiology, "double time" refers to the time it takes for a population of bacterial cells to double through binary fission. It is a measure of the growth rate of bacteria and varies depending on the specific bacteria, environmental conditions, and the availability of nutrients. Some fast-growing bacteria can have a double time as short as 20 minutes, while slower-growing bacteria may have a double time of several hours or even days.
