The second question depends on quantity of damage and what kind, that this bacteria makes, so since the growth rate is (seems so ) high, you might have about two days at the very most, and that could be far too long to wait. Some lab testing maybe, from a microbiological lab, to identify or confirm the bacteria identity?

x is days
y is amount bacteria

Let x=24 for the first question.
