Best Answer

Bacteria breed at different rates.

The answer to your question would depend on what the bacterium was. IF we could assume that it is a bacteria that doubles every 20 minutes under these particular conditions, 1 bacterium would turn into 214 or 16384 bacteria. Again, realize that growth rates will vary and, when it comes to food, you almost never start out with only one bacterium.
