10. Escherichia coli is a bacteria that can cause food poisoning if people eat contaminatedfood or drink. In the laboratory, Escherichia coli can triple every hour. If the bacteriacount in a sample contaminated water is found to be 50 after the first hour, how long willit be until the count exceeds 100 000? Express your answer in hours. Use the explicitformula for your solution. Express your answer to two decimal places. Use methodslearnt in class.

Initial count of bacteria = 50 Final Count of bacteria = 100000 Tripling time = 1 Hour

Answered: 10. Escherichia coli is a bacteria that…

6a. A sample is given to you that contains 6 million cells per ml. You must make a series of serial dilutions in order to get a countable number on a plate to prove that there are indeed 6 million cells per ml. The plate that you eventually put a sample of bacteria on must have between 10 and 100 colonies for ease of counting. What dilutions do you make to get this many colonies on a plate? How many colonies do you have on that plate? Show what dilutions you make (Write exactly how much liquid you move into each test tube and how much liquid was in the test tube, ex. Move 1 ml of culture into 9 ml of water – 10x dilution). Don’t forget to tell me how much liquid you eventually put on your plate. (If you want to draw something out, you could draw then take a picture of it with your phone and submit the image along with the worksheet). 6b. Do the same problem as in 6a, but now you have to do it in 3 test tubes or less. What dilutions do you do now? please use drawings to help…
1. Why do you think the 5% sheep blood agar was selected for the culture of mouth bacteria?
the scientist is studying the effect of water purification tablets on the creek water in her local area. She collected several different 2 L samples from a creek. For each sample, she measured the number of coliform group bacteria colonies in the water initially, and then added a water purification tablet and measured the number of coliform group bacteria colonies over time. She found that the following equation was a good fit to the data: C(t) = 80e−0.05t + 8(t + 1)−0.5.Her model says that C(t) is the number of coliform group bacteria colonies at time t, where t is measured in minutes since the tablet was added to the water. (a) According to this model, how many coliform group bacteria colonies would initially be in a 2 L sample of the water? background information: The quality of drinking water is determined by tests for coliform group bacteria, which are organisms found in soil and in the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals. Coliform group bacteria are not considered to…

1) would you describe the contents of the soil-inoculated broth as being a “pure culture”? Why or why not? 2) How did the uninoculated broth differ in appearance from the broths inoculated with E. Coli and M. Luteus? And then how could you tell if a supposedly sterile, uninoculated broth was contaminated? Please explain in detail and highlight the important parts cuz I am confused and need help! Thanks
