You spread 0.1 mL volume of a 10^(-6) dilution onto a nutrient agar plate. After 24 hours of incubation at 37°C, there were 280 colonies of bacteria on the plate.
A.) What is the original concentration (OCD) of bacteria in the stock sample this dilution came from? (2 points)
B.) Using the OCD value from part A, determine the number of colonies that would be expected to grow on a plate that is inoculated with 0.1 mL volume of 10^(-8) dilution from this same stock of bacteria. (2 points)
Show your work for both.
Homework Answers
A - Original concentration (OCD) = Number of colonies/ dilution * volume plated in ml.
Number of colonies = 280
dilution = 10-6
volume plated in ml. = 0.1
OCD = 280 / 10-6 * 0.1
= 280 * 106 * 10 = 2.80 * 100*106 * 10 = 2.8 * 109 CFU/ml
B -
dilution = 10-8
volume plated in ml. = 0.1
2.8 * 109 = number of colonies /10-8 * 0.1
Number of colonies = 2.8*109 *10-8 * 0.1 = 2.8 or around 3.
Number of expected colonies will be between 2 or 3.

The spread plate method requires a series of dilations from an undiluted liquid sample. if you want to spread 0.1 ml of a 1/1000 dilution made from the original sample onto a solidified agar plate, how would you obtain that dilution? (use 10-fold dilitions). You can use a diagram to explain your answer.

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,...

Now knowing the MPN value, you decide to do a dilution series in order to figure out the original bacterial concentration of the Swimming Hole, just in case it is not a coliform causing the gastric distress and simply a bacterial overgrowth. You perform the following dilution set: from your 16.3-liter Swimming Hole sample you transfer 10.7 x 10-3 liters into container A which has a volume of 6,250ul, you then transfer 1.7 mL from container A into container B...
