A 108 is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is plated on solid media, and 264 colonies of bacteria grow on the plate. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using exponential notation. • Since only 0.1 mL is put on the plate, this counts as an extra dilution!!! • Any time less than 1 mL is transfered, a dilution is being performed. • Any time more than 1 mL is transfered, a concentration is being performed.

The streptomycin in 500 g of a broth was determined by addition of 1.25 mg of the pure antibiotic containing 14C. The specific activity of this preparation was found to be 240 cpm/mg for a 30-min count. From the mixture, 0.112 mg of purified streptomycin was isolated which produced 675 counts in 60.0 min. Calculate the concentration in parts per million streptomycin in the sample.

A unique plant was discovered from the hot springs of Maquinit, Coron, Palawan. To study the activity of the plant, approximately 5.00 g of the fresh plant was finely cut and ground and then mixed with an extraction buffer to make up a total of 1.00 mL crude plant extract. Approximately 19.00 mL of water was added to the plant extract. To determine the protein concentration of the extract, a bovine serum albumin (BSA) stock solution with a concentration of 200 ug mL-1 was used and mixtures with the following compositions and absorbance readings were prepared: A 200 uL aliquot of the diluted plant extract was added with 300 uL water and was subjected to Bradford assay. Determine the protein concentration, in mg mL-1, of the original 1.00 mL crude extract if the absorbance acquired from the analysis is 0.200.
