1 E.Coli was incubated with aeration in a nutrient medium containing two carbon sources, and the following growth curve was made from this culture

A) Explain what happened at the time marked x

B) Which substrate provided “better” growth condition for the bacteria? How can you tell?

2  Assume that after washing your hands you leave ten bacterial cells on a new bar of soap. You then decided to do a plate count of a soap after it was left in soap dish for 24 hours. You dilute one gram of the soap 1:106 and plate it on heterotrophic plate count agar. After 24 hours of incubation, there are 168 colonies. How many bacterial were on the soap? How did they get there?

3) Heat lamps are commonly used to maintain food at about 50 degree C for as long as 12 hours in cafeteria serving lines . The following experiment was conducted to determine whether this practice poses a potential health hazard.

Beef cubes were surface-inoculated with 500,000 bacterial cells and incubated at 43-53degree C to establish temperature limits for bacterial growth. The following results were obtained from heterotrophic plate counts performed on beef cubes at 6 and 12 hours after incubation.

Before completing this graded discussion. You should have a full understanding of the concepts below, if you don’t please use the textbook and review them first.

• Opportunity Cost, Scarcity, Market Failures, Government Regulation, Taxes, Tax Revenues, Public Goods, Government Spending.   

Instructions and Steps:

1. View the following TED Talk (video presentation). As you watch the video, take notes of any relevant information.

• What Government Can Learn From Baseball | Daniel Koh  

2. Answer the following question;

• As you are aware from reading chapters 4 & 10, Governments intervene in markets to solve market failures like pollution, and to provide for public goods, but to achieve this, they need funding, which they accomplish by collecting taxes. Jean-Baptiste Colbert a French politician who served as the Minister of Finances of France from 1665 to 1683, once famously said: “The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest [number] of feathers with the least possible amount of hissing.” Implying that taxes should be as high as people are willing to pay without complaining too much. Based on what you read in chapter 10, and the information from this TED Talk, should governments focus more on becoming more efficient with the use of tax revenues hence reducing the cost of delivering for their citizens, or should they focus more on trying to increase tax revenues? Explain why.
