How do I calculate the number of cells recovered in a suspension? What information do I need? Also, calculate the percent increase in cell density from the time of IPTG addition to the time when the cells were harvested. The OD of the E.coli culture is around OD 2-2.5. 10ml of culture was added to each flask.
Components | IPTG (+) OD600 | IPTG(-) OD600 |
E.coli+Glucose+Ampicillin | 0.6263 | 0.5764 |
E.coli+Glucose+Ampicillin after IPTG and growth | 0.2870 | 0.2041 |
Counting Cells in a Hemacytometer
The procedure below provides some general directions on how to use the hemacytometer. 1. Clean the chamber and cover slip with alcohol. Dry and fix the coverslip in position. 2. Harvest the cells. Add 10 μL of the cells to the hemacytometer. Do not overfill. 3. Place the chamber in the inverted microscope under a 10X objective. Use phase contrast to distinguish the cells. 4. Count the cells in the large, central gridded square (1 mm2 ). The gridded square is circled in the graphic below. Multiply by 104 to estimate the number of cells per mL. Prepare duplicate samples and average the count.

this is a bacterial growth curve experiment . please explain rhe results Procedure: You will follow the growth of E. coli over the course of the period (3 hrs) by making direct counts of the bacterial suspension by measuring the turbidity of a sample at a given time with a spectrophotometer. The data obtained from the direct counts will be used to plot a partial growth curve. Summary: Turbidity Counts with the Spectrophotometer to measure absorbance at 600. Direct Counts...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
