Examine the bacterial growth curve below Based on this growth curve there appears to be little change in the optical density between 270 to 310 minutes however your instructor assures you that the bacterial species that produced this growth curve was well into the death phase during this time frame Luckily your instructor has saved culture samples from the 200 270 and 310 minute time points How can you verify that this bacterial species is well into the death phase and provide a reason as to why bacterial death and the optical density readings do not correspond 4 pts Optical Density 600 nm 1 20 0 05 200 Time minutes 270 310
