Helping tags: biology, microbiology, food microbiology, microbial growth, microbial death
Analyze figures 2.7 and 2.8.
1. Guide questions:
a) What range of time and temperature combinations poses the highest risk? How do you say so?
b) Explain briefly why hazards and risks decrease as temperature decreases from 55oC upwards.
c) Discuss briefly why after 100 hours, the risk decreases even if the temperature is optimal for growth of pathogens.
d) Write a conclusion explaining the relationship between time and temperature as illustrated in the 2 figures.

Dilution Problem. A culture of Staphylococcus is diluted as follows:
(1) 20mL are added to 80mL of water.
(2) 10uL from (1) are then added to 9.99mL of water.
(3) A 10-2 dilution is made from tube # (2).
(4) 100uL from (3) are plated for a pour plate and incubated.
Growth Problem.A culture with approximately 2x103 cells/mL were incubated. After 3 hours, the number of cells had increased to 3x105.
a) How long was the generation time in minutes?b) How many generations have occurred
