a. Dilution factor = 10^-4 (See B)
Final cell count on plate A = 323 CFU/100 uL
= 3230 CFU/mL
b. 100 uL into 900 uL ----> 1:10 dilution
50 uL into 450 uL ----> 1:10 dilution
10 uL into 990 uL ----> 1:100 dilution
Total dilution factor = 1:10000 = 10^-4

3. A serial dilution of a swab sample was prepared by adding 10 uL to a volume of 990 ML water in tube 1, and 10 uL to a volume of 990 uL water in tube 2. a. What is the overall dilution and dilution factor of each tube? Overall Dilution Dilution Factor Tube 1 Tube 2 b. If 100 uL of tube 2 is spread plated and 126 colonies grow, what was the #cells/mL in the original sample?
Please show how to do these enumeration questions by showing the work. What is the dilution factor if you add 625 µL of culture to 4.375 mL of dilution medium? You count the 10-3 dilution of a yeast suspension using the 1/25 mm2 boxes : you find 45 cells in box 1, 15 cells in box 2, 42 cells in box 3, 23 cells in box 4, and 26 cells in box 5. a) What is the original concentration of...
If you started with adding 50 ul of an overnight culture to 500 mls of LB media and grew the culture at 37oC for 4 hours and plated 200 ul of a cell suspension and observed 100 colonies on your plate, how many cells were in the original overnight culture used to inoculate the LB media?
please help with whatever possible. thank you so much in advance. Name One use of serial dilutions is to calculate the concentration of microorganisms. Since it would usually be challenging or even impossible to actually count the number of microorganisms in a sample, the sample is diluted and plated to get a reasonable number of colonies to count (usually between 25 to 250 colonies is the goal). Since each colony on an agar plate theoretically grew from a single microorganism,...
0.2 ml of a 10-9 dilution of a bacterial suspension plated on an agar plate gave rise to 156 distinct colonies. What is the concentration (CFU/ml) of bacteria in the original, undiluted suspension?
After making a serial dilution a tank water sample, you plate 100 ul of the 10-4 After incubating, you count 90 colonies on the plate. What is the CFU/ml? Write out your calculations, briefly, along with your final answer.

The solution was diluted 10x (10-1), 100x (10-2), 1000x (10-3), 10.000x (10-4). Using the three latter dilutions, 100 ul was spread plated on to TSA and incubated at 37°C. Show dilution series and indicate which dilutions were plated: To estimate cell concentration...
help me with the math. m e usually performed, e.g., 10°>10% 10% 10%, etc. Two-fold or other dilution schemes can be applied as well. For accurate quantitation, it is important to use the selected dilution scheme consistently. correction factor is 10 (0.1 ml X 10-10 ml). If you plated 0.5 ml, the correction factor is 2. 1.-CFU/Dr Initial concentration, (lc) equals colony forming units (cfu) divided by dilution factor (Df). Note that each step of the dilution procedure reduces the...

It you plated 20 ul of sample with a dilution factor of 10-3, what would your total sample volume be? (Total sample volume - (Volume plated) x (Dilution)). (2 pts) 3.

(A) You have a sample with an original concentration of 1.0 x 10^7 CFU/mL. With the Plate Count Method, what final dilution factor would be needed to produce countable plates? Show your work. (B) Describe a dilution scheme (how many tubes, what volume in each tube, what DF is achieved in each step) that uses only the 9-mL blank diluent tubes to achieve the dilution needed for this FDF.
