The decimal reduction time (DRT) to kill 90% of cell present for autoclaving a culture is 1.5 minutes. How long would it take to

kill all the cells if 106 cells were present? What would happen if you stopped the heating process at 9 minutes?

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.

The term Southern Oscillation most nearly refers to which of the following?
Yuki888 [10]

The term Southern Oscillation most nearly refers to a reversal of wind direction

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Southern Oscillation, a component of the atmosphere in one large-scale interaction called El Niño / ENSO. The equatorial cycle fluctuates after irregular periods of about many years in response to alter in atmospheric pressure in the tropical Indo-Pacific.

With the weakening of the east-west wind during the southern oscillation phase, warm water may slide back west, increasing the flow of the equator up. Surface water temperatures and sea levels fall west and rise east, which is why this event is called El Niño.
