Consider an industrial-scale batch fermentation. A 10,000 l fermenter with
cells/ml
is the desired scale-up operation. Inoculum for the large tank is brought through a series of
seed tanks and flasks, beginning with a single pure colony growing on an agar slant. Assume
that a colony
plasmid-containing cells) is picked and placed in a test tube with 1 ml of
medium. Calculate how many generations will be required to achieve the required cell den-
sity in the 10,000 l fermenter. What fraction of the total population will be plasmid-free cells
