Experiment 1 Graph

Experiment 1 was carried out to find out what difference the total solution volume makes to the rate of pH change.

Experiment: Control 1B 1C 1D
LB (ml): 50 25 10 5
Culture (ml): 5 3.125 1.25 0.625
Ampicillin (μl): 10 6.25 2.5 1.25
IPTG (μl): 10 6.25 2.5 1.25
Total volume (ml): 55.02 28.1375 11.255 5.627

The solution with total volume 28.1375 ml (1B) produced the fastest initial rate of pH decrease and reached approximately the same final pH as the control (pH 4.84).

The smallest solution volume changed pH at the slowest rate and after an initial decrease in pH, it then increased to 7.87 overnight.

Therefore, in the optimum order, 1B > Control > 1C > 1D

Experiment 2 Graph

Experiment 2 was carried out to find out what difference the volume of sterile water added to the solution makes to the rate of pH change.

Experiment: Control 2A 2B 2C
LB (ml): 50 50 50 50
Culture (ml): 5 5 5 5
Ampicillin (μl): 10 10 10 10
IPTG (μl): 10 10 10 10
Sterile water (ml): 0 50 25 10
Total volume (ml): 55.02 105.02 80.02 65.02
