00:00 Yeah, no. Yeah, fucked like okay, testing, testing.

00:57 folks. Hello? Hello. Um as you know, or maybe don't

01:08 , cautious schedule is open. So exam is not a week from today

01:12 a week from tomorrow and saturday depending when you scheduled. Let's see,

01:21 stuff. So the blackboard which is unit quiz, which is a little

01:25 , only different in terms of a little bit more comprehensive. It's

01:30 13 and four material we'll finish for . Well five which we'll do on

01:37 is fairly short, so it's not be a extensive just covering two things

01:44 . One is called aero tolerance among . So there's ways to see this

01:50 the type that can use oxygen cannot 02 can use both etcetera. There's

01:56 to test that. Um and then other part is really just kind of

01:59 basics of, of how you kill . Okay. And how we look

02:06 that um measure it and some examples how we kill these things.

02:13 Um many, many, many terms sure you're familiar with, but there

02:17 be some terms that we have to through. So that's pretty much what

02:22 is about. Okay, I think maybe a total of a dozen slides

02:27 . So anyway, so it's not not super extensive. Something we can

02:31 finish that start and finish in on . Okay, so um what

02:39 Oh so that because five is not part of the, of any of

02:43 quizzes that will have, I will like half a dozen questions relating to

02:49 material on blackboard on monday? So can it will be like just questions

02:56 I'll be like a next you will the answers on it. So if

03:00 want to go through and take the and you'll see the answers at the

03:03 . So just to kind of give a sampling of some questions from from

03:07 chapter. Okay, so again I'll that on monday. Okay, is

03:13 gonna be for great or anything? certainly you know quizzes for for

03:16 Okay so let's see. So alright we need to finish up four so

03:27 . We've gotten through most of these I'm gonna kind of rehash the batch

03:33 concept again a little bit about what call fed batch and bioreactor growth.

03:41 if you are um biotech major, know there's a bunch of you in

03:47 that that is kind of stuff you'll doing if you're not already um in

03:54 I think I know it's part of curriculum, you have bioreactor in you

03:59 you use engineered genetically engineered strains and . But certainly industry, if you

04:05 that route you will definitely be using kinds of tools and techniques um and

04:12 of growth. So that's what we a little bit about at the kind

04:16 the calculations involved. Nothing complex. um about how we measure growth and

04:22 of if you have this many how many do you have at the

04:26 that those kind of problems. And there'll be a couple of those on

04:30 exam. You can use your take hand held calculator. I don't care

04:35 kind tu tu casa, I let know ahead of time that you'll have

04:41 calculator and you can bring it in you. Okay? So so that's

04:45 fine and and I'll remind you again email, so again you can use

04:49 calculator to figure this out. And we're not talking complex math here,

04:54 you can't have a and we'll go a couple of problems today and there's

04:57 extras you can look at on your on blackboard, has the answers all

05:03 out? So you can look at as well. Again it's only taking

05:08 maybe two at most three problems on exam covering this. Okay, likely

05:12 to. So anyway but do take look at those and we'll go through

05:17 basics of that as well. Um before we do that there was one

05:22 thing uh I can't remember. Is any questions cargo? Okay so we'll

05:31 with the question. Okay so this again to kind of the batch growth

05:38 we talked about before. So here we have the first statement when e

05:43 has grown in nutrient broth there's the the formula uh N. B.

05:49 short we grow enough for 24 hours transferred to fresh N. B.

05:55 from one class to a now a one. Um The pattern looks like

06:01 , right so we go from B. Two N. B.

06:02 like a. Okay so if we it on N. B. Again

06:07 then transferred to this other medium you on the right M. Nine A

06:12 , define what do you think the pattern would resemble? A.

06:17 Or C. Okay. Um So a look at that. And uh

06:26 uh while you're looking at this so the phases? Right so the batch

06:33 is basically you've got a flask test , what have you some sort of

06:39 receptacle with your medium? Um You , give it a source of cells

06:44 ? They'll start growing and just following pattern right? Like you see these

06:48 have basically the same pattern. Just differ in different parts. Okay so

06:55 so the different four different stages of process. Okay. The lag log

07:03 death phase. Okay and so all doing is just the only manipulations are

07:07 is taking samples out to measure Remember these of course were all cell

07:12 over time. Okay there's different ways do that. The common ways to

07:16 a sample measure absorbency which you've I'm sure by now in different ways

07:22 different classes you measure absorbent inspector thomas these things as they grow in

07:27 Get cloudy so they will um you measure light absorbent with them and you'll

07:32 a graph like this but that's all doing. Just taking samples and measuring

07:37 that's batch growth just following it from beginning to the end and that's

07:41 Okay. Um and you get these of curves. Okay, so let's

07:48 do a Greece like countdown here. 10 seconds. Okay. So um

08:01 answer as soon as you finish this we'll go Through. Okay. We

08:07 164 said see um if you said uh you are correct? Who answered

08:20 why? Why do you get Okay. So by lacking things like

08:35 only beef extract, what does that for the cell on the grass is

08:42 it doesn't and what it means obviously have this mode. Well e coli

08:51 can will grow in M. Okay. Right. It's just not

08:56 just it just has this really long phase. Right? Why does it

09:01 a long lag phase here, anybody ? Yeah. Yeah. Right.

09:10 you're on the right track when you're , you're right, it is a

09:13 . And for that reason you said it's in this, Right. So

09:18 is full of preformed nutrients. Okay got vitamins it's got um it's got

09:25 uh amino acids and things. So a lot of materials in here but

09:32 doesn't need to synthesize to get Whereas certainly an m nice to define

09:38 basically to make everything from scratch speak any coal is capable of doing and

09:45 but it takes some time and the is reflected in the lag phase

09:49 Right. So this is a time it's turning these different genes on maybe

09:54 off but you know, making acids whatever else it needs. That's that's

10:00 this is extended because it's it's not a lot of preformed stuff that doesn't

10:06 won't have to synthesize. So that's in the longer lag phase. But

10:09 once it begins making that material, certainly obviously kicks in. Right.

10:14 see that log phase? Of course very steep. Right? So,

10:19 and that's, you know, it and there can be different factors that

10:23 lengthen this, It can be. many cells are you adding? Is

10:27 fewer cells are more cells? Is very old that's going in here um

10:34 are the nutrients different? And so we see the effect there.

10:38 And so if generally if you go if you go from this Okay,

10:45 if I went from here, I cells here and I took an inoculation

10:54 that point And went back again into , would I expect to have the

11:01 long lag period? No, it already acclimated already acclimated to the

11:06 So, so, so it was M9 here. Okay, uh and

11:11 you go into fresh M nine. , that's ok you're not going to

11:15 this extended period because it's already it's geared for it. Okay, already

11:21 , it has all the enzymes and going, it needs to stay on

11:25 minimum media and it can keep going , you know, really the lag

11:31 that would occur because of maybe a temperature variations, slight ph variations,

11:36 be slight osmolarity variations between the That can kind of slow it down

11:41 bit, but it wouldn't be extended it's already geared for that media

11:46 Okay. Um would it, would be a lag phase if it went

11:53 M night into A and B long face? I don't think necessarily would

12:05 there is going going from Oh I I got lots of stuff for

12:07 I can kind of, there may some bit, but I don't think

12:11 would be profound because it's going from from a situation where now it's getting

12:17 of stuff, it doesn't have to okay? And very quickly it will

12:21 down pathways as we'll learn in unit , it can very quickly shut down

12:27 that are on and because I have make anything, it can very likely

12:31 period will not be that long in of lag phase. Okay, by

12:35 to a rich medium. Okay, does that does all that make

12:41 Yeah. All right, alright, so we just kind of went

12:47 I forgot to put that up but think you figured that out. Um

12:51 , so different phases um log let's see, I think I mentioned

12:58 previously. So in log phase here kind of the mid, you often

13:04 the term mid log somewhere in the like around here, that's typically of

13:11 most, you might see the most functioning state of the cells or in

13:16 kind of period here. Often times you zero went on is when you're

13:22 , if your cells are doing something , you know, metabolism you're interested

13:27 and typically it's going to be the active in that period. You may

13:31 to do like samples for enzyme activity something like that and you might do

13:36 there because that represents maybe the most you get the best measurements for those

13:40 the cells are really active and metabolically and growing fast. Maybe that's also

13:45 we want to harvest cells and use for later because you'll know they'll be

13:50 a really good state when you harvest there because they are in a very

13:53 state. So, you know that can be of interest, but not

13:56 everything one does is necessarily geared toward face and maybe something you want in

14:01 phase. So it just depends but very common, you might hear

14:04 Oh yeah, just growing up to log and then run with it or

14:08 like that. That's kind of the behind. Okay um Then of course

14:15 don't forget to sell size differences that here. So uh in late in

14:21 trays of cells generally the biggest So as they kind of get a

14:25 bit bigger that's kind of the the also to then divide. So chromosome

14:32 cell divides so you're gonna have sales kind of the in that duplicating state

14:37 little bit more bigger for that So but then the reverse occurs in

14:42 phase as that becomes kind of a mode. Let's kind of conserve

14:48 becoming a little smaller. Is one those mechanisms uh less material to keep

14:53 with. Um And so kind of let's ride out this storm here.

14:58 this stress occurring here and maybe more become available. You know there is

15:04 some some nutrients do become available here it's it's a source. So if

15:12 let's say they're on the nutrients that in the medium that you made and

15:16 are coming very low, there can to be a slight influx of other

15:20 coming in. What might those be from? Remember? It's surrounded by

15:25 lot of cells right? Dead cells ? Dead cells can actually contribute some

15:31 nutrients to sustain them. So kind cannibalization if you will right there are

15:35 eating each other but as a cell typically license and that stuff is released

15:40 that can actually be nutrients that can them for a bit but not long

15:46 then because not everybody's gonna be satisfied terms of the neutral requirements so it's

15:52 going to reach this tipping point and death increases exponentially. So that's the

15:58 thing to remember that the rate here of course very fast. And so

16:03 will the rate here be fast in phase. And so that's what we'll

16:08 on really monday in that part about killing cells. And how do we

16:14 them? And how can we make go faster? That kind of

16:17 Okay so um okay let's see is any any questions about this? Okay

16:27 okay so let's look at a little about fed batch and bioreactor growth.

16:32 uh fed batch culture. So there see the curve for batch growth.

16:37 remember batch growth you're not really doing with it other than just measuring

16:41 Right? And looking at the Okay and um and that too can

16:46 abuse. What was the use of of getting growth? That's a lot

16:49 uses to that. Right one is . Where is it reached log phase

16:53 is it reached stationary phase? Because are the important points in terms of

16:56 you're doing and studying to know where at for a particular organism. Micro

17:03 Also if you're a uh sometimes you want to you may be at the

17:10 of the maybe you don't want to at the mercy of the bacteria's schedule

17:15 ? And you like not like to in at night and take a sample

17:18 rather wait until the morning. You can also adjust. Right?

17:22 just don't add so many cells at beginning. Have a lower in

17:26 That will kind of stretch out Right? These are just tips I'm

17:29 you right there's gold here. This is stuff you may not want

17:33 your on the job and industry and going to these cells are coming alive

17:37 midnight. I don't want to be . Let me manipulate the conditions of

17:41 growth and get them to be there their best when it's my schedule.

17:45 ? These kind of things. You learn the textbook. Okay so anyway

17:50 trust me I've been up there at and taking samples so I didn't always

17:54 to do that. Um Okay so a question. So back to fed

17:59 . So look at that question. fed batch. Um So generally you

18:04 you can continue to increase cell numbers you do fit back to further the

18:10 of the cells. Right. Especially it's what you want to do.

18:15 typically need lots of cells to do so you may and that again is

18:20 where mid log comes in handy to that because that's a good spot to

18:23 more nutrients. So you then begin feed them more before you get the

18:28 log. So they're still in a really functioning state. Given more selves

18:33 then you literally not have that much a plateau occur. It will keep

18:39 . Okay so um but it will even if you if you're off a

18:44 bit and added during even during stationary they'll begin to kick off again.

18:49 if you don't want to have so of a downtime before they kick in

18:53 can always just do it earlier. But in any case you're getting more

18:57 you're gonna grow more. Okay and number one thing so just go back

19:02 quick to this form. So if doing a Fed batch with M.

19:09 , they're growing at M. I wanna feed them to keep them

19:14 growing. What am I gonna add mixture here? Okay carbon pour in

19:24 carbon. Yeah you don't need to the whole medium. Just add

19:30 Right cause there's gonna be plenty of still available. Okay so given the

19:35 and boom. Right that's that's what feed is the whatever the carbon

19:39 Okay so um so the question here is why not add I say all

19:47 why not add, we're just talking adding glucose, defeat it. Why

19:50 add just all the glucose upfront. . You want to get you want

19:55 get to X number of cells and know it takes 100 g of glucose

19:59 liter. But the media recipe only you to add 10 or 15 g

20:05 liter and you have to feed it . Okay. Why not add all

20:11 of it at the beginning? one those basic chemistry fundamental simple things.

20:21 one? Yes. So the reason you don't add everything at the

20:28 There's it's due to a very basic principle. Yeah. Okay one more

20:41 . Yeah you're on the right It's because you greatly increase the osmolarity

20:47 the salute levels greatly increase if you too much. And so you get

20:52 effect of of um these automatic effects you said becomes too hyper tonic as

20:59 result. And that inhibits the cells from growing. So that's why you

21:04 add everything up front. For that the solute concentrations are off too much

21:10 that it becomes too hyper tonic really the cells so that can prevent them

21:15 growing. So that's why you have use the feed strategy or you grow

21:20 in a bioreactor. Okay let me about that. So think about that

21:25 . So here's a bioreactor. So um uh uh I got a picture

21:31 it here so here's I'll come back the previous slide. So this is

21:34 here's a basic shake flask what you and what you would use in a

21:39 . Okay um And here you of course, back up one

21:45 Here's a bioreactor. When you see a it's a computer controlled uh

21:51 Um you see the different pumps you can pump acid and basin all

21:56 controlled. You set parameters, If it gets below uh 6.5 or

22:03 , you add um base. If gets above 7.3 or something, you

22:08 acid. Right? So you keep in that range. Okay? Um

22:13 can also have a pump to feed a regular feed uh your carbon source

22:19 keep growth going. Um And there's ports to make other types of

22:24 If you're doing some kind of experiments things, it's all this is this

22:30 steel jacket jacketed, which means you water cool water circulating. Because one

22:36 the things that happens when this thing and because you're controlling all the parameters

22:42 even oxygen I mentioned the second, are gonna go like nuts. Like

22:48 . Okay, and lots of cells quickly. And when that happens,

22:53 another basic chemical principle that happens. that? Why? You have to

23:00 it with water heat tremendous heat output the cells are dividing and growing like

23:06 . Especially with this volume. This probably about a I think it's about

23:12 liters, I think uh can get hot. So that can kill

23:15 So the temperature control is very Okay, and then uh let's

23:21 so when you're controlling all these I'll come back to this question a

23:26 . So uh let's just look at thing here. I don't expect you

23:30 know the nuts and bolts diagram of bioreactor. I'm just showing you this

23:34 for you know you gotta take majors there. We'll see this um the

23:41 itself. So here you see the coming in. Okay? Um Of

23:47 we're talking about aerobic organism sort of air. Right and disparage? Er

23:53 so why not just bubble Aaron? are we bubbling in through a spark

23:57 ? Makes it super tiny bubbles. the smaller bubbles of gas are easier

24:03 to symbolize in liquid than our big . Okay so the spars are very

24:09 bubbles. Plus this thing let's call impeller basically like a blade that's create

24:15 , right? Spin. Makes things ? And so that plus that helps

24:19 break up the bubbles even more. that allows the oxygen to quickly cybill

24:26 in the liquid. Okay that makes that's accessible to the cells very

24:31 Okay. And you can even control this whole levels of CO. Two

24:36 in. Um And that's done with um This probe there's an oxygen probe

24:42 ph probe to measure ph oxygen probe measure the levels of oxygen and can

24:48 . So if oxygen levels are going well then add more air and increase

24:55 speed of the mixing going on. ? And that can be done

24:59 computer controlled done automatically. Okay. so your complaint ph you get providing

25:06 much air as it can handle. to um feeding it, right.

25:11 you can imagine themselves are gonna be happy under those conditions, right?

25:16 it results in very rapid growth and of cells very quickly. Okay.

25:24 The uh okay the other thing you see in these really these fermentation is

25:31 of lots of foam. So the of gas being pumped in. I'm

25:36 cripple activity. You can get a of foaming going on the top and

25:40 can kind of be disruptive. So have what's called anti foam. Uh

25:45 kind of helps bring that down. know, you have it when you

25:47 a big like a you're too young drink beer in here but I like

25:51 drink beer and you have a big you have again if you have like

25:53 big fat foam on top. So that kinda helps to break that

25:58 . Okay, so these are things encounter in in in in running these

26:03 which I have um uh and the thing, the whole thing you prepare

26:08 medium, fill it up and you to play the whole thing, that's

26:11 you sterilized. Okay now over this guy you don't have as much

26:17 over. Okay, but you can do, there's something you can

26:21 it just becomes a pain because you've to continue to monitor it every few

26:26 and make adjustments but you can do and so you have something like a

26:30 ph indicator that will turn a So it's getting acid, it turns

26:35 yellow turning basic, it turns red ? And you can go and see

26:39 . Oh my flask is yellow needs be more kind of maybe in between

26:43 orangey color, not yellow. So add some acid to it just you

26:48 with the pipette. Um ah that's you can do that that will promote

26:55 . The other thing here is these these little indentations. Okay, so

27:00 is the last you're used to seeing what you see in chemistry lab which

27:03 a flat bottom. These have a design here, right? This is

27:07 we call baffles is what they Okay, what do you think that

27:12 ? There's a purpose for that? that flask is spinning which it will

27:18 right, you have to mix it so you get air mixed into

27:21 What are the bathroom's gonna do Something. Nothing. Yes. Wild

27:32 hair, guess anything. Yeah. not white but it's it's really easy

27:46 right? Imagine your water, your molecule in here and if it were

27:51 flat compared to having these things, that going to be like? You're

27:56 hit it, create turbulence create more as a result. Okay. And

28:02 you may go really that's gonna make big difference. Trust me, it

28:07 . You do an experiment with a like this versus a flat bottom.

28:11 do see a difference. It grows because it creates more turbulence, turbulence

28:16 more mixing in with 02. So makes a big difference for growing an

28:21 , okay? Because sometimes depending on you end up job you end up

28:26 , that company may not have a lot of money where you can buy

28:30 computer controlled by reactors, right? may be at the mercy of a

28:34 know what you've got on hand and something you can do to improve

28:39 Okay, so better ideas to convince person the company to let's buy a

28:45 controlled by reactor. Okay. Um anyway, so again, for your

28:51 measures this is the kind of things be seeing. Okay, so down

28:55 , if an aerobic bacterium grown in culture is adequately fed, what can

29:00 growth fairly quickly? Key is the work. So what would you have

29:10 do something about very quickly? you have to you have to either

29:16 up the shaker to spin it faster turn up the if you have a

29:22 turn up the level of O to kind of things. So actually becomes

29:26 limiting very quickly in the situation where really controlling the growth and giving it

29:32 it needs, making it nice and , The result is very fast

29:36 but sucking all the auction up and you have to very quickly that will

29:41 out okay. And you know that um you know in a in a

29:48 flask or in a test tube when growing it um you kind of know

29:53 you're in that situation, if you're growth. So you may see a

29:59 used to seeing a pattern like right? But if it's oxygen

30:03 it can very quickly it can do lag exponential, but then kind of

30:12 that it goes quickly. But then it kind of levels off because it's

30:17 oxford limited, That's what kind of to the last level of auction,

30:22 present, Right? So uh e overnight culture, which many of your

30:29 coordinators do for for your labs, chemistry etcetera. That's essentially what happens

30:34 them, you know, in the six hours, they probably get the

30:38 growth. But then after there it's it's kind of linear because they're just

30:42 for auction, but they kind of at that rate. So anyway,

30:46 is none of the stuff I'm gonna you on. But you know,

30:50 to think about, right, Especially you're in the business of growing

30:55 okay. Which I was for a of years. But uh so um

31:00 questions okay, before I went off my tangent? Okay. Um All

31:08 , so that makes it grow. what we're gonna do here is look

31:10 a couple of examples of problems relating there's an equation and you'll be given

31:17 whatever equations you need. There's only really a couple you they're given in

31:22 problem so you don't need to memorize . Okay. But as I've mentioned

31:28 , I think we all know that archaea have the capability of growing very

31:34 . Okay. Under optimal conditions. this concept of generation time, there's

31:39 ways to define it. It can um you know, one way is

31:45 seeing it. Right? So the of one generation, right? The

31:48 to produce a generation cell to divide two more practically. We look at

31:54 in terms of you know what we're these things industrially and otherwise is is

31:59 time for the culture to double take a time point. And then

32:03 see, how long did it take double to get twice? That that's

32:06 that's also generation time. Okay. it doubling time. So all these

32:12 are synonymous. Okay. And so kind of the parameter we look

32:17 You know if we're doing manipulations if looking at the effect of antiseptic or

32:23 on the culture, you may. . How's it affecting growth when I

32:27 a generation time gets longer or is affected or whatever. Okay, so

32:33 ways that um and of course you when you're when you're dealing with cell

32:39 So here's generations, here's number of that equates to when you have such

32:45 wide range of numbers. Okay that over a period of time. You

32:50 of wanted to visualize that better. kind of compress it. So we

32:54 log base 10 to do that and typically what you plot. I'll come

32:59 to that in a second. So a plot. I'm sure you've seen

33:02 before. This is using absorbent spectrum metric measurements to get an optical density

33:09 we convert it to log base 10 you get a video response here.

33:15 so that's that's typical for you again, data whether it sells or

33:20 from the ph scale is also numbers a wide range. A lot of

33:25 base tend to compress that somewhat. the equation basically starts out with this

33:32 . Okay to measure the number of . So this N. T.

33:37 the zero time number cells that your zero is two time beyond their

33:46 Nt how many cells you're having? you start with two cells ends a

33:50 of generations. Okay. It'll end end. And so basic example here

33:56 with two cells. Okay. And is to how many cells that are

34:00 generations to the fourth? 32 These are the kind of problems we're

34:04 do. Okay this is this is pre looping, right We're gonna we're

34:08 manipulate this equation to give us something can better use to do our problems

34:15 . Okay, This is just showing kind of the basics of how to

34:17 this because this only has so much because um you know, you can

34:23 of figure out, okay, if have this member cells here and this

34:26 cells here, you might be able , you know, count using your

34:29 how many generations are in between but can get not very useful very

34:34 So we want to kind of you and set this equation to equal in

34:41 we can calculate indirectly. Alright, number of generations and then we can

34:45 that. Use that number for a of different things and that's what you'll

34:50 in a couple of problems will do . Okay, so right now,

34:54 just showing you kind of the so N zero N T. We're

34:57 see represents the population size at the time points. Okay, Little

35:03 there's always going to be the number generations and then like I said,

35:06 gonna convert this equation to something we better use Okay, so again,

35:11 going to focus on that and basically gonna rely on the log to the

35:16 10. Right? So we're just to and I don't expect you you

35:18 have to know how to derive this . Ok. I'm just kind of

35:23 you how we get there. So we're just gonna multiply through by

35:27 to the base 10. Okay. then we're gonna focus on this guy

35:32 first. Right? So that converts remember your log to the base tens

35:36 how you can manipulate those. so this is the same as thing

35:44 times like to the base 10 to . Okay. That directly converts

35:51 Okay, so with the rest of , what we want to do is

35:55 set this equation to two. Little . We want little end equal blah

36:01 . Okay so we're gonna take this and put it over here.

36:06 log to the base 10 of N minus log base 10 of N zero

36:11 putting it over there. Okay. then we can finish the manipulation.

36:16 , so n will equal. So this is the same as saying

36:27 It's the same as doing that log the base 10 of N.

36:32 Over N zero. Right? This just that's how logs work.

36:36 Um and then over 00.301. So think of this as kind of the

36:41 the the the exponential growth, Is the 2 to 4 to 4

36:47 88 to 16 and so on. that pattern. So kind of think

36:50 that term is representing kind of that . Okay. Is one way to

36:56 about it. So again this is equation which will do the bulk of

37:00 work force. So the other thing is you notice that there's really no

37:05 element in it. Okay. You also represent this simply putting tea in

37:11 equation right? You see it right . Okay. This now we call

37:16 rate constant because of course it's it's useful to have a time element in

37:21 because you wanna know how fast this is growing and uh you know all

37:28 types um our key appropriates have I all all cells have a growth rate

37:35 of some sort you know and that differ of course depending on what they're

37:41 on. Okay. And the cell . Okay. Um but it should

37:46 consistent. So if you grow Coli on nutrient broth And you grow

37:52 under the best conditions, you can the right temperature right? 37°

37:58 Um and you know giving it what wants, right? And so you'll

38:03 a rate constant. And that number be relatively the same every time you

38:07 E. Coli on on and be the same conditions. Right? So

38:11 should be a constant. And then see or maybe if I grow on

38:15 . B. And add something else it or whatever that may change.

38:19 that can give you some insight into what you're trying to do is working

38:23 not working but regardless. Right, here's our equation then Generation time is

38:29 something we should know probably. And K. This term here again,

38:34 just the same equation. But with time element um equals generations. So

38:39 value we calculate that. That's going give us a number of generations.

38:43 now. The K. Has that time. Okay. And so generation

38:49 itself is really just the inverse of . All right. So one over

38:55 . Went over that. So just it around. That gives you generation

38:58 . Right? So that's so this and that one are kind of the

39:03 we're going to be using in these . Okay, so generation time time

39:09 time for generations. Typically it's in is how you express it. And

39:14 and then the this equation to figure a number of generations. Right.

39:16 those are two things we're gonna use you'll be given this information.

39:20 So don't don't have to memorize But you would be helpful to know

39:24 what these terms represent your middle ends begins. Okay. Um All

39:30 So here's a question. Take a at this. Give it a

39:36 So the bacterium that's not a real , I'm sure you realize has a

39:43 time of 40 minutes. Okay, starting with five cells and log

39:50 How many minutes to produce? About cells. Okay, assume all the

39:58 remain viable. Um Okay, so your equation and see what you

40:30 We don't have a calculator. You work with your neighbor or neighbors.

40:40 . I'm sorry. You will have . Yeah. You'll be able to

40:44 a capital for the test. No , but you have one. You

40:49 use your cell phone now. You to have Okay, cheapo handheld

40:52 It's okay. Mhm. Get the on if you don't get it.

41:15 not sure. It's okay. We're go through it blow by blow.

41:44 . Okay, I didn't set the off, so Alright, go

41:50 And I'm gonna give you 10 seconds point something in 765 was a flurry

42:05 . Okay, here we go. . A little over the map,

42:13 little around the map there. There was a consensus of B Let's

42:20 if that's right. Okay. So , so here's our here's the thought

42:26 . So I kind of that's how map it out here. So uh

42:30 zero is five starting with five We're going to 10,000. That's

42:34 N. T. Okay. Generation . Uh that's Mr generation. So

42:42 us 40 minutes per generation. I this sounds really basic the way I'm

42:45 it, but that's the best way have of just having it all

42:50 What's the logical process here. Ah so you're in a countless number

42:54 generations produced, going from 5 to . Use this value to multiply by

43:00 time to yield minutes. It will out and you'll have minutes.

43:04 so let's go this way. All . So here's where we start.

43:10 long base 10, 10,000 over Right. N. T over N

43:14 . Do have a .301. That us about 11 generations. And then

43:22 generation time is 40 minutes per generation 11 440 minutes Or a little over

43:30 hours. Okay. Okay. So it was d this is not

43:40 . But that's the stop process. , so everybody's good with that.

43:47 , um again uh the the problem also has this one in there as

43:55 . So you can look through it . You need to. Okay,

44:00 the next problem is using the same obviously, but it's asking for something

44:07 little bit different. I think we're for the generation time in the next

44:11 . Okay. So you're counseling a time Of this bacterium if 900 cells

44:20 15 hours produced over three million. . So there are the different

44:29 So looking for the generation time. . So why is sitting there deciphering

44:49 problem? I will I just got text from colleagues. So this is

44:56 from Merck Merck is a Uh I them as a chemical company but they

45:03 do biology stuff. And so they're interns for summer 2023. So I

45:10 post this on blackboard if you're Okay, so make a note of

45:28 . The other thing. Let me while you're figuring this out. Uh

45:34 lab is crazy lab today and today yesterday. Simple staying microscope.

45:42 So it would behoove yourself to make microscope your you know what?

45:48 Which means become efficient with it. microscopes are all Service a month

45:57 spent something $1,000 on their all in order. So if you don't see

46:04 it's your eyes that aren't working Okay. So become efficient at

46:10 Okay is my best advice. Oh and uh work gloves? You

46:19 have pink hands and purple hands and kinds of colors on your hands.

46:24 . All right, counting down Okay. Here we go, stragglers

46:39 now. Okay let's see. consensus says B. Let's see.

46:49 . Alright. So there's our basics zero in t terms equation number generations

46:59 so plug it in To get generation , right time, 15 hours,

47:04 minutes divided by that many generations, . So B. B. As

47:09 boy. That's correct. So again we're gonna move on from this but

47:14 know there's there's a problem set of five including these two. So if

47:19 need to look at the kind of they're all laid out in the same

47:22 kind of giving you the thought process the logic behind it. Okay.

47:26 mean you obviously have the choices going it. I don't know how to

47:29 it. I'm not gonna worry about because we have two problems on the

47:32 . Right? That's one approach. . But you know, it's not

47:37 hard. I don't think it's just setting it up in the logic.

47:41 . Um Many questions. Okay. alright, now the last part of

47:50 relates to two phenomena. Right? again, here's another question. It's

47:54 math. All right, believe me was never great at math.

48:02 you know I I that's why I to do with all that kind of

48:04 basic way and map it all I made season calculus one or

48:08 so Mhm. Uh Actually made season chemistry too, but I survived.

48:21 I'm actually end up teaching organic chemistry in my metabolism. How crazy is

48:26 ? Right? Probably not any good it. Right, I'm average at

48:33 . Um All right. All I think that's a pretty basic

48:44 I'm sure everybody knows this one. . You do, Huh?

48:57 We'll see if you're right trying to everybody else. You're right. A

49:08 mm. Okay. 21 stragglers jump . What's that and the answer?

49:22 goodness ! You really are taking advantage . Its only two points. I

49:26 it whether it's right or wrong, don't care. All right. Don't

49:29 that. Okay. Um Who picked . Are you? Right. Are

49:39 wrong? Yes, you're wrong. It's B. And those sports

49:48 Okay, so um this is not clicker question, that one fits what

50:00 biofilm formation. Okay? And as it's the opposite it's nutrients. It's

50:06 that plus lots of nutrients equals Okay so surface attachment, lots of

50:15 , biofilm, lack of nutrients or stress. Let's make an indoor

50:22 Okay? And I'll resist the lack nutrients and the radiation bombarding me and

50:30 come back to life at some point the road. Right? That's the

50:33 of sport. Okay? Um So we'll talk about biofilms. Um So

50:42 the biofilm of course represents, this going clockwise 12 o'clock is the beginning

50:50 the full blown biofilm at nine Okay. So obviously represents a massive

50:57 of growth, Both initially like in dimensions. If you will then here

51:05 almost like a volcano, you coming out of the ground,

51:08 You can see the three dimensionality of . So it becomes flat and then

51:12 upward. Okay, representing of course of cells. Okay, so and

51:19 on the way here uh you know around 11 25 I took a picture

51:26 a couple of biofilms on campus. that that's over uh you walk right

51:33 that door, it's right in front you on that wall. Okay so

51:38 see so there was a wooden board here and somebody moved it but that

51:44 really had that you can really see but if you look right in the

51:48 that you can see that of course a window on STL building. So

51:53 a and there's always precipitation running down . Uh So that kind of feeds

51:59 biofilm, there's this this is always as you can tell. So that's

52:03 going along quite nicely. Okay, um so yeah, lots lots of

52:10 . The and of course in a context, whereas these are fairly common

52:16 see these in various places. You see them on water as well called

52:21 mats of growth can occur various rocks and things and it's fairly common

52:27 nature. But the end, you , and of course in human structures

52:32 sculptures, you can also see them in other places. But from a

52:37 standpoint they can be quite serious. , so this is a catheter.

52:43 any kind of medical devices like a tube called intubation, breathing tube,

52:51 the nasal tubes, not so much , but certainly things that comes in

52:58 packaging, but you then put in on the body. And so when

53:03 care workers mishandle those because your hands staff and mucous membranes and things right

53:09 they can become contaminated. And so can sort of contaminated catheter into somebody

53:13 then that biofilm can grow and grow a biofilm and coat that device.

53:19 can then of course break off and get to other parts of the body

53:24 can be quite serious to deal with that very thick film of growth restrict

53:30 movement of antibiotics that are trying to it. And so that's what really

53:33 it problematic. And so you have biofilm infection that takes that can take

53:39 , weeks if not months of treatment really deal with it. So,

53:44 these these aren't as uncommon as you in the hospital setting. Okay.

53:52 , so nature of a biofilm. let's focus on that. Again,

53:56 biofilm examples, there's somebody's teeth. right as black, but that's been

54:04 . So they put some kind of kind of diet to kind of enhance

54:07 . Right? Normally it wouldn't be it wouldn't look like that normally.

54:11 you would feel it because you have sticky feeling you have on your

54:14 Right? This is uh I've dealt this type before. This is what

54:18 see in a restaurant. The dispensers you get your soda the tubing that

54:25 full of syrup. Right? That to the, to the dispenser.

54:30 in that environment you can form these polymers are really in there and code

54:35 the block up the tubing. Call it the sugar snake. So

54:42 right. So the there are several , but the main thing is the

54:47 , our surface attachment and nutrient Okay. And the other thing is

54:53 information is not a random process of , let's grow a lot. And

55:00 we all come together and there we . No, okay, it's a

55:05 specific phenomenon. Not all bacteria can biofilms. Those that do have the

55:12 that enable them to do it. , it's an orchestrated process. So

55:16 like it's a chemical signals between cells um that then that then trigger the

55:26 of the biofilm. So it's by from being a random process.

55:31 so the the coli 0157 always mentioned chipotle E coli. Right. That

55:39 is a biofilm former. Okay. uh the only the mutants of that

55:46 that lack don't form aren't pathogenic, the ones that have the friendly.

55:52 do. Ok, so friend brad an important thing because attachment.

55:56 So here's the kind of the five process. Right? So initiation.

56:01 so we differentiate between cells that are swimming, the colors plank, tonic

56:07 those that are called stickers. they stick to the surface.

56:12 that's these guys. Right. So why tonic cells are kind of the

56:18 if you want scouting out an area form a biofilm which is predicated on

56:24 a nutrient source present. Okay. having a favorable environment. Okay,

56:28 that's kind of what their job And then if there is a favorable

56:32 then they develop into the swimmers into . Okay pot stickers, not pot

56:39 . Um The so they basically lose flagellum and then the finsbury I take

56:46 and promote adhesion. Okay then, maturation involves kind of building the glue

56:55 gonna hold everything together and that's the place aka right? So they so

56:59 will secrete that um that will enable to kind of form the biofilm.

57:05 then maintain the biofilm requires of course supply of nutrients. And then as

57:11 thing gets massive, you have to of create a situation where everybody can

57:18 fed as best as possible. And why you see biofilm towers and you'll

57:23 holds so that nutrients can flow through everybody, I'll show you a picture

57:28 in a second. Then then of most of these don't last forever.

57:33 there's a period of time when nutrients out, right? That picture of

57:37 drain pipe, you know if if water supply is cut off. All

57:42 , and stop then that thing of is going to die eventually there's no

57:45 feeding it and you can get this . All right, so it breaks

57:49 and again, this is a nutrient phenomenon. It's got to be a

57:54 of nutrients and you're not going to all these cells dividing and making the

58:01 . So then they revert back to swimmer state because that's how they can

58:03 around and find another spot to make bio. Okay, so in terms

58:08 what it looks like, basic terms , here's where playing tonic cells and

58:14 are communicating, right? there's chemical going on. Okay so you may

58:20 types that are not yet in the mode. Okay. Kind of on

58:25 surface you may see that twitching motility going on. Okay. Um but

58:31 signals are being produced and there there's threshold. So the quorum sensing thing

58:39 if you're familiar with parliamentary procedures and , if they have a minimum number

58:44 people to hold the meeting kind of . So if you have a number

58:49 enough cells are present okay then enough is produced and that's a signal that

58:55 okay there's enough cells there. So you have presumably if you reach a

59:00 that means it's a favorable environment and good enough then trigger the process.

59:07 if not then cells won't accumulate and a signal for okay this is maybe

59:12 good place to form a biofilm. not enough nutrients here. If there

59:16 then you'll reach the threshold level and you'll promote the biofilm formation which then

59:22 the exact policy accurate production. And um and then growth growth of

59:28 of course on the surface then begins go up right so three D.

59:31 dimensionally and then in order to kind be able to to adequately feed everybody

59:39 here reckons there's gonna be several layers . Right one way to do that

59:44 to create holes in the in the the in the biofilm towers so that

59:49 can flow in and around. But , if it's not enough to sustain

59:54 , okay then you'll get breaking off biofilm cells will then revert back to

60:00 multiple stage and seek a different Okay? But again, if you

60:06 a flow of nutrients going through they can sustain that thing for quite

60:10 time. Right? That thing over that took a picture of has been

60:13 for since last semester probably even longer that. Okay, so um it

60:21 depends. So again it's enough nutrients feed everybody then it'll keep going.

60:27 . Um Any questions about Okay. , the main effect from that is

60:41 that in the restaurant where it's you'll notice odors occurring. That's the

60:48 clue that something is not right. when that happens then people are called

60:52 to take care of up to that . And even the spigot where it

60:58 out will be very kind of sticky not very good flow. And so

61:03 those begin to happen is when something be done about it because I,

61:08 experience, I haven't seen anybody get , but it doesn't mean that people

61:14 get like an upset stomach or something that. They just didn't report

61:18 So, but because what we actually to fix it was, you know

61:22 things you have in the in a , in the men's room on the

61:27 dispenser thingy that goes and scores out of the material that we put one

61:32 those in by the tubing and it actually escort this enzyme that would break

61:36 the sugar. Think so. But don't, people, people that own

61:42 restaurant or run the restaurant, I want to deal with problems unless the

61:46 are going, hey what's going And of course they smelled the

61:50 Then you have to come in and with it. Right. They would

61:52 preventative done it before. Right then wouldn't have the issue at all.

61:56 but anyway, that's that answer the . Okay else. Okay.

62:03 So alright and those spores. So those spores I said these guys can

62:12 for a long time. So here evidence of that. So the top

62:17 is a 250 million years old sample um It's the Ancient Sea Salt Beneath

62:25 New Mexico. It's like a sedimentary . Um but you see I forget

62:34 picture, I can't remember which picture which description but doesn't matter down below

62:38 million year old bacteria found in And so the point being they were

62:45 . And we also see these things there's no reports of ancient Egyptian

62:52 So the confidence of pharaohs and things buried in. They've opened those things

62:56 and found in those sports in there well and revived them. But time

63:01 . These are certainly much older than those would be. And so the

63:05 of the sports here are shown by cells containing the white blobs. So

63:12 right here are your in those sports . That these lots of them in

63:24 actually. And you will see in four forming type, you're gonna see

63:29 cross section of forms. You're going see types that are this is actually

63:33 cell containing in those four. Then also see just free call free in

63:38 pores like this and something like which would be just completely just what

63:43 call vegetative cell not making it in four. So you always see proportions

63:48 all three in any in any any of one of these types. And

63:54 two types of any sport formers. I think I mentioned this in the

64:01 of Tyndall tyndall pasture back then. So spores just the words term sport

64:12 are widespread across all domains. fungi produce spores. Um uh there's

64:20 dormant forms. So what's common of ? Are there dormant forms? Think

64:26 them as a seed kind of And um assist as another type of proto

64:32 can form cysts. Um to assist spore. These are all just kind

64:37 dormant forms. Think of them as that under my conditions they'll reproduce.

64:43 , so now the endo spore is whole other level. Okay.

64:50 these other types are somewhat resistant. , but nothing not even close to

64:57 end those four is. Okay, it has that unique kind of really

65:01 coat that enables it to handle, know, radiation to handle, you

65:07 , not just one boiling will typically them. Okay. Um extremes of

65:14 etcetera. So they're very resistant. . And the two groups are both

65:19 domain bacteria bacillus and clostridium bacillus for most part are fairly benign, just

65:25 dwelling organisms. They're both soil bacillus and Clostridium clostridium is the one

65:30 has the number of pathogens in Okay. You know of tetanus and

65:36 of course, uh their toxin producers that group. Okay. Um gas

65:44 basically the it was a common cause death, you know, for the

65:48 time. In terms of military a wound would occur, dirt in

65:55 wound, couldn't clean it. And the bacteria grow toxin produced and that

66:00 actually killed the tissue. And so gangrene was very common uh for the

66:07 time in terms of battlefield wounds and people dying from them. Um but

66:12 , so the you know, they're in those performers metabolically quite different.

66:18 are an Arabs they don't use oxygen does. Okay. And so um

66:26 we'll talk more about clostridium later in semester in the context of diseases,

66:32 the sport process of like biofilm Was it was a orchestrated process.

66:41 , to a speculation. So it a lot of genes And it's not

66:46 it's not a trivial thing to Right? And so um it takes

66:52 while to do it here. You eight hours can be up to 12

66:56 depending on and again you're gonna see not it's not a if if they're

67:01 make in those spores that all sales making in the sports all at once

67:05 the same time. Okay. It's continuum. Right? That's why you're

67:09 to see a proportion of types. . Those forming the sport, those

67:14 beginning the process, those that haven't yet. Okay. Um And in

67:21 of the things that distinguishes um in poor formation is it's it involves replication

67:28 D. N. A. Step And step two is to compartmentalize that

67:34 forming cell. We're gonna make two . One compartment in those four

67:39 the other ones surrounding it, the compartment surrounding it is kind of directing

67:45 events of the process. Okay. eventually that bigger compartment that's directing things

67:52 disintegrate and go away. And you're with the mature maturing finally mature endospore

67:59 then becomes its own thing. And so that's what we refer to

68:03 the mother cell. And the fourth . Right? So the mother cell

68:07 the the one directing the events, ? That of course means producing proteins

68:14 that that are involved in in turning two different genes at different times of

68:19 formation. Okay. And so the for is kind of where is receiving

68:23 instructions and is becoming the sport. . And so when we look at

68:30 uh so this is just to reiterate different types. You see um a

68:37 section. So of course if this is is nearing the end then everything

68:43 formed in those spores, the proportion free and those spores will be much

68:48 . Right? There only be a of types that look like that completely

68:55 . So the proportions will differ and proportions will tell you where they're at

69:00 the process. Is everybody becoming in four yet? They're gonna see tons

69:04 these free sports. Okay. If then you're gonna be somewhere in

69:09 Right? If it's not really forming the sports at all, You're only

69:13 to see a few. So the proportions you see under the microscope

69:19 how far along they are, if are at all. Okay. So

69:25 in a culture where you're not even to induce speculation, you'll see a

69:31 in there because all cells are kind on their own timetable in a

69:36 Okay, So um and don't worry the descriptors here, but um you

69:45 identify spores species that different species by sport. They form that where it's

69:52 middle And is it swell up the ? These are ways to identify

69:57 Okay. And so the process Okay relies on replicating the chromosome forming

70:07 two compartments. Okay. And here's mother's cell. Here's your 4th

70:12 So there's there's proteins being regulation of turning on genes. Those kind of

70:19 are being passed from mothers health to for and eventually the mother so kind

70:25 engulfs it. And that's the process making a double membrane. Right?

70:31 what the beginnings of that really thick coat. Okay then the D.

70:37 . A. And the mother. disintegrates. Okay. And we deposit

70:42 chemicals di piccoli like acid and calcium serves to kind of strengthen as

70:48 Peptidoglycan is formed in there. So can you have these chemicals that serves

70:53 strengthen the sport coat. Draw out of the water. Right? Kind

70:58 dry it out a little bit. completely. And that serves to make

71:02 highly resistant form. Okay. And eventually the free sport. Okay and

71:10 this could hang around for a long as we saw. But like a

71:15 you just put it in soil and water and it grows you just give

71:18 the right conditions and it will it germinate into a viable cells and cells

71:24 they'll divide and and the spores Okay, now there may be a

71:29 where maybe some something adverse happened to end of those four and maybe you

71:34 if you have a handful of maybe not all are able to survive

71:38 certainly I would guess that there will a few that will okay, but

71:42 the right conditions will revive it and , it's now back to a full

71:46 vegetative self. Right? So the cell itself just real quick is I

71:52 that kind of the the normal functioning right? Under happy conditions. That's

71:58 vegetative cells when something begins to happen them stress or other than they can

72:04 the end those four and be in process and so they can be in

72:07 middle of it, right, vegetative within those four until they get to

72:11 state. Okay? So, but this kind of state here they're kind

72:16 that's the normal functioning south form the state. Okay? Just like you

72:22 there or in a vegetative state. , no, that's not quite

72:25 That's not right. Maybe you I used to be like, I

72:30 sometimes. But anyway, so any , folks, so we'll finish this

72:35 on Tuesday, So have a good
