A flask containing 100 ml and a bioreactor containing 1 liter of nutrient broth were inoculated with 500 cells of a certain bacteria sp. The flask was incubated on mechanical shaker and aeration was introduced in bioreactor at 37°C for 2 hrs. The final pH in flask was found to be 5 with 105 cells/ml and that in bioreactor was 7 with 1012 cell/ml.
Calculate the generation time of that bacteria sp. In flask.
