[blank1] times   BONUS 2: In the video of Bonnie Bassler, she mentions research conducted using a bioluminescent bacteria found in the Hawaiian bobtail squid.  What was the name of the marine bacteria that could make its own light in the squid? [blank2]   BONUS 3: What temperature is the incubator set at for growing bacteria in the lab? [blank3] (Be sure to include the unit in your answer!)   BONUS 4: What is the name of the broth used to test oxygen requirements of microorganisms? [blank4]   BONUS 5: Bacteria can multiply at an alarming rate when each bacteria splits into two daughter cells, thus doubling.  If we are growing a bacteria with a generation time of 1 hour, and we begin with a single cell, how many bacterial cells will we have by the end of the day (24 hours)?
