(02-15-2017, 04:23 AM)Akshay shinde Wrote: One hundred E coli cells are infected by a single lambda phage particle. the ratio of the number of phage particles committing to lysogeny to those committing to lysis is 4:1. Assuming that the average burst size is 80 , the number of free phage particles released after on round of infection is?

What must Ben the solution for this numerical ? Kindly answer..

I am sorry if I'm missing some crucial information regarding lytic and lysogenic cycles (which should have been used for approaching this question), I am rather assuming it as a simplistic question....

Given the 4:1 for lysogenic : lytic phages, it is clear than 20 would be lytic phages. 

Now each E.coli will burst once 80 particles have been accumulated. 

So total free particles should be 20x80 = 1600

Thank you sir for the solution . I believe it is a simple numerical as I guess there is no other possible approach for this numerical .

Ohh! I had marked "C" as I was bit confused with those two options.

Option (A) NGTCNNNTNN seems most acceptable consensus (assuming a >=95% confidence).

Q: During anerobic growth, an organism converts Glucose (P) into biomass (Q), Ethanol ®, Acetaldehyde (S) and Glycerol (T). Every mole of carbon in Glucose gets distributed as follows:

1(C-mole P) -> 0.14(C-mole Q) + 0.25(C-mole R) + 0.3(C-mole S) + 0.31(C-mole T) 

From 1800 grams of Glucose fed to organism, amount of Ethanol produced(in grams) is?
