Population Growth

R and K Selection

R and K selection are concepts in ecology used to describe traits in the fluctuation of a population or population dynamics. For example, they describe the life-association traits between parent and offspring, such as quantity or number of young ones born at a time, quality of parental care, the age to maturity, and reproductive effort.

Question

Describe the reason why bacterial population in a culture tends to grow slowly under unfavorable
conditions like the presence of poison or antibiotics. Also, explain how the population is restored
in the same adverse conditions in the same culture, in due course of time.

The UWC Biotechnolo class undertook a study to determine the microbiological quality of mince-meat samples that were obtained from four local retail outlets. You have performed the following serial dilution of the mince samples. Firstly, 25 g of the minced samples was transferred to 225 ml 4 strength Ringers'-solution, followed by two (2) 10-fold dilutions and finally three (3) 100-fold dilutions. These dilutions were then pour-plated out (1000 µl of each) onto the required medium. The colony forming units (cfu) for the Enterobacteriaceae count is listed in the table below: 1 3 4 6.
