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 bacteria grow on the plate. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacterla are in a single ml of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using exponentlal 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.

A 10-5 dilution 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 278 colony forming units grow on the plate. How many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using scientific notation. In scientific notation 540 would be written as 5.40*10^2. Since only 0.1 mL is put on the plate, this counts as an extra dilution!!! Any time less than 1 mL is transferred, a dilution is being performed. Any time more than 1 mL is transferred, a concentration is being performed. Include the trailing zero so there are two decimal places Canvas expects a single digit before the decimal point. 5.40*10^2 is how Canvas expects 540 to be formatted in scientific notation 54.00*10^1 would be marked wrong. 0.54*10^3 would be marked wrong.

If you were using the quadrant streak plate method to plate a very dilute broth culture ( with many fewer bacteria the broth used for the plate picture here), would you expect to see single, isolated colored in quadrant 4 or quadrant3? Explain your answer.
If 1.0 mL of a 1:1000 dilution produces 200 colonies on a culture plate, how many bacteria were present per mL in the original (undiluted) sample? 200,000 20,000 2,000 200
A 10-2 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 61 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?

Plate A Plate B Plate C Plate D Plate E Dilution Factor 10-5 10-6 10-7 10-8 10-9 # of Colonies Too many to count 850 456 80 14 Group of answer choices All of these choices A & B D & E E None of these choices A B & C D B C & D C
Below is a set of data for a serial dilution/plate count experiment. Based on this data what is the calculated concentration of bacteria in CFU/mL in the original culture? The OD600 of a bacterial culture that's been diluted in half is 0.842. What is the estimated population of cells in the original undiluted culture? asap
You are givena mix culture of S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Besides using the streak plate method what other methods could you use to separate the bacteria? Please state what methods you would use, the result you would be looking for and interpret the result.
I have a culture containing 106 organisms/ml and need to dilute it to 1000 organisms/ ml.   Can you draw out a serial dilution diagram that I could follow to reach 1000 organisms/ ml If I plate 150ul of the final diultion onto YPD media, how many colonies approx would be expected on the plate?
Design a serial dilution procedure to achieve a 56-colony count, from a sample with 8.75x105 CFU/mL bacterial concentration.
Using a dilution series is a way to transfer the very small volumes of original culture necessary to get countable colony forming units. If you suspect your culture of bacteria has 59.62*10^9 cells per mL, how many mL of original culture would you want to end up on the plate to produce 68 cfu? Express your answer in scientific notation rounded to two decimal places. Eg. 0.01001 would be 1.00*10^-2 You must include trailing zeros 0.0000040001 would be reported as 4.00*10^-6 There must always be two decimal places, even if they are zeros Canvas expects one digit before the decimal point 0.40*10^-5 would be marked incorrect for 0.0000040001
You are given a mix culture of S. aureus,E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Besides the streak plate method what other methods could you use to separate the bacteria? Please state what method(s) you would use, the result you would be looking for to help identify each bacterium and the interpretation of the result.
