If the specific growth rate, ?. is constant with time during the exponential growth period, the equation correlating bacterial number density Cn), cell number concentration with respect to time can be expressed as
Options
A. Cn= Cn0 exp[? (t - t0)]
B. Cn0 = Cn exp[? (t - t0)]
C. Cn/Cn0 =(1/?)exp(t-t0)
D. Cn0 / Cn = (1/?)exp(t-t0)
Correct Answer
Cn= Cn0 exp[? (t - t0)]
