 7. (10 points) E. Coli bacteria were grown in a 5.0L

7. (10 points) E. Coli bacteria were grown in a 5.0L batch cell culture reactor, with the following data collected: A. Draw a log10X vs. time graph and label the phases for batch cell growth. B. Calculate the specific growth rate, , and mass doubling time, td, for the exponential growth phase. C. Calculate kd, the specific rate of cell mass loss due to cell death (For B \& C, it will be helpful to re-plot the y-axis as lnX or ln(X/X0), and focus on only the data in that phase)
