Answer
Therefore if you are using 5ul into 100ul you are doing a 20-fold dilution each time. So if your growth rate was slowed down due to the extract, you may be diluting the cells out more quickly than they are growing. You should do a growth curve in medium with and without extract to really understand what your generation time is with the extract.
