A 1 mL microbial suspension comparable to 1 mL of 1.0 McFarland standard was subjected to a series of dilutions. An aliquot of 0.2 mL was transferred into a 100-mL volumetric flask and diluted with sterile saline solution to its final volume. Then a 0.1 mL of the resulting solution was transferred into a 50-mL volumetric flask diluted to its final volume. What would be the final concentration?
