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,...
A. You have been given a tube of E. coli. You are asked to make 1 mL total volume of 10-1 dilution of the bacterial culture. Explain how you would do this. Show all necessary calculations. ____ ml cells + _____ ml water = 1 ml (total volume) B. Next, you were asked to make a 10-2 dilution of the bacterial sample. Explain how you would perform this. Show all necessary calculations. You have bacteria at a concentration of 2...
(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.
Problem solving Question: 1. If you were to serially dilute a sample with three 1:10 dilutions, what would be the final dilution of the last tube? 2. If you add 1 ml of sample to 99 ml of water, and then add 0.1ml (100pl) to the agar plate what is the dilution of the sample on the plate? 3. If you count 98 colonies on the 10-5 plate, how many bacteria/ml were in your sample? 4. What are three ways...
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?
I need the answer to question D, thank you. Question 10. Bacterial density in a counting chamber A scientist needs to calculate the density of a bacterial culture in order to set up an experiment, but the laboratory spectrophotometer is broken and the only alternative is to use a counting chamber that she finds in a drawer of old equipment. The counting chamber has a glass to coverslip height of 0.02 mm and the instructions say that each square of...
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...
Answer and do the following calculations: 1. Suppose your professor handed you a test tube with 2.0 mL of an E. coli broth culture in it and told you to make a 10–2 dilution of the entire culture. Explain how you would do this. Show your calculations. 2. How would you produce a 10–1 dilution of a 3 mL bacterial sample using the entire 3 mL volume? 3. You have 0.05 mL of an undiluted culture at a concentration of...
