Question

The specific growth rate of a yeast having a doubling time of 0.693 h (roundedoff to nearest integer) is___________h-1

🧐 Not the exact question you are looking for?Go ask a question

Solution

The specific growth rate (μ) of an organism can be calculated using the formula:

μ = ln(2) / doubling time

Given that the doubling time is 0.693 hours, we can substitute this value into the formula:

μ = ln(2) / 0.693

This simplifies to:

μ = 1 h^-1

So, the specific growth rate of the yeast is 1 per hour.
