Answer:
10.5minutes
Explanation:
DRT = 90%
Cells present = 10^6
Autoclaving = 1.5 minutes
Solution:
10^6(1.5)10^5(1.5)10^4(1.5)10^3(1.5)10^2(1.5)10^1(1.5)10^0(1.5)0=10.5
it would take it approximately 10.5 minutes to kill 10^6 of the cells.
If i should stop the heating process at 9 minutes this would have effect on some of the microbes as they are still present with 1 bacterium left which makes it not efficient.
