The bacteria have an initial concentration of 1000 cells/cm3 . Each cell divides once every 30 minutes. Calculate how long it will take for the concentration to become greater than 15 000 cells/cm3

It will take 120 minutes for the concentration to become > 15000 cells/cm³

Given data:

Initial concentration ( density ) = 1000 cells / cm³

Target/final concentration = > 15,000 cells /cm³

Calculating the concentration every 30 minutes

note : Given that each cell divides every 30 minutes

  • After the first 30 minutes

Concentration = 2000 cells / cm³

  • After 60 minutes

concentration = 4000 cells / cm³

  • After 90 minutes

concentration = 8000 cells / cm³

  • After 120 minutes

concentration = 16000 cells / cm³

Therefore after 120 minutes the concentration of the cells will be greater than 15000 cells/cm³ ( i.e. 16000 cells/cm³ )
