A rapidly growing bacterial species such as E. coli exhibits a typical phase of growth cycle in liquid nutrient broth (lag phase  log phase  stationary phase → death phase). If a bacterial culture has starting density of 103 cells/ml has a lag time of 10 minutes and a generation time of 10 minutes, what will the cell density be at (cells/ml) 50 minutes?
