Controlling Microbial Growth Lab

Kill microbes on a live death-curve graph, run a virtual autoclave, solve sterilization mysteries, and sort methods. Nothing here is graded.

Part 1: Death Curve Simulator

Alive Killed Endospore Survivors (this run) Previous run / 10⁻⁶ line

The graph is a log scale: each grid line is ten times fewer survivors. The flask shows 100 dots on an ordinary scale, so it empties long before the graph does. That is why we use log graphs.
