Question

Yeast colonies can be considered cylinders of constant height. The number of yeast cells in a colony can be calculated using the linear function $N\left(A ight)=C_{s}A$ , where the constant C_s is the cell-surface coefficient, and $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the colony. Debaryomyces fabryi is a yeast commonly found in all types of cheese. Determine the value of C_s for a colony of this yeast with a cross-sectional area of $50$ mm² containing $260 imes{10^6}$ yeast cells. Calculate the number of yeast cells in the colony with a cross-sectional area of $100$ mm².
