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.


Is chlamydia a double stranded DNA virus?

No, chlamydia is a bacteria.


If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 300 minutes and there is currently a population of 3000 bacteria what will the population be 600 minutes from now?

If the bacteria double every 300 minutes, then in 600 minutes, which is two doubling periods, the population will double twice. Starting with 3000 bacteria, after the first 300 minutes, the population will be 6000, and after another 300 minutes, it will double again to 12,000. Therefore, the population of the bacteria after 600 minutes will be 12,000.


How many e-coli bacteria will be in 1 hour?

The number of E. coli bacteria in a sample after one hour depends on various factors, including the initial concentration of bacteria, environmental conditions, and the growth rate of the specific strain. Under optimal conditions, E. coli can double approximately every 20 minutes. Therefore, if you started with, for example, 1,000 E. coli bacteria, you could expect to have around 8,000 bacteria after one hour, assuming ideal growth conditions.


The doubling time of a type of bacteria is 43 minutes. If every bacterium reproduces then after 43 minutes a population of 1024 bacteria will have grown approximately to what size?

If the doubling time is 43 minutes, after 43 minutes the population will double in size to 2048 bacteria. So with an initial population of 1024 bacteria, after 43 minutes it will double to 2048.
