5. You grow a culture of E. coli to an OD reading of 0.8. Your instructor wants 40 colonies on a plate. Ideally, you want to only spread 100ul on a LB plate. How would you carry out the proper dilutions in order to arrive at 40 cells on a plate? Please show your calculations and all work. (1 O.D. = 1 x 108 cells/mL).
Homework Answers
Volume plated = 100uL
Number of colonies =40 colonies
Step 1: Convert O.D to cfu/ml
(O.D of 0.8) x (1x 10^8) / (1 O.D) = 8 x10^ 7 cfu/ml
Step 2: Number of bacteria/mL= Number of colonies * Dilution of the sample
Number of colonies * Volume plated * Total dilutions used
8 x10^ 7 cfu/ml = 40 colonies * 0.1 ml * Total dilutions
Total dilutions= 8 x10^ 7 cfu/ml) / ( 40 colonies) * (0.1 ml) = 32 X10^7

You have a stock of an E. coli cell culture of an unknown concentration. You want to set up a serial dilution experiment so that you can count the viable colonies and determine the concentration of the stock in cells/ml. In tube A, you add 1 ml of the stock to 999 ml of media. In tube B, you add 1 ml of the material from tube A to 24 ml of media. In tube C, you add 50 microliters...

You want to dilute and plate an E. coli culture that has 3 *10 8 cells/ml. If you needed to dilute the above culture, starting from the undiluted stock, to a concentration of 500 cells/ml, how could you perform a serial dilution to achieve the desired final concentration?

a) During the exponential phase of bacterial growth, the lab strain of E. coli has doubling time of about 30 minutes. If you start with 10,000 cells per mL of culture, and let them grow exponentially 2 hours in a flask, what is the final density of the culture? Show and explain your calculations. b) If you plated a100μL of 1:1000 dilution that culture (after it had grown in a flask for 2 hrs) how many colonies would you expect...

After measuring the OD (see question 5) of an S.aureus bacterial culture, you find that the concentration is too high and perform a 1:1 dilution. In order to reach a final volume of 1000uL in your cuvette, what combination of bacterial culture and fresh media must be combined to achieve the desired dilution? If the OD after the dilution is 0.54, what was the undiluted OD? (question 5: After you have grown a culture of E. coli bacteria, you measure...

6. Transposon mutagenesis was performed to identify genes that are involved in the biosynthesis of theA amino acid alanine. A wildtype culture of E. coli was infected with a defective phage carrying Tn10 A and the culture was plated on LB-tet media to obtain tet-resistant colony forming units. (LB is a rich growth media for E. coli and contains all amino acids required for bacterial growth) Individual CFU were then transferred to a multiwell plate containing liquid LB-tet media and...
