As we know, isobutanol is toxic to E.coli. So, we wonder how much E.coli can tolerate isobutanol. Therefore, we make a model to calculate the doubling time. According to the following figures, we realize that the maximum concentration of isobutanol that seriously hinder E.coli growth is 1.3%. The figure gives us an important information to help us understand the growing condition of E.coli and to adjust the incubation time in our project.

According to the equation of Thomas Robert Malthus, we can get the doubling time of E.coli in the following table.
