A bacterial suspension with a population of 6.3 x 107cells/mL was diluted as follows: 4 mL was removed and added to 16 mL of diluent. This was again diluted 1 in 300. Determine the concentration of cells after EACH dilution. Concentration after the 1st dilution = 6.3 x 107 cells/mL x 1/5 = 12.6 x 106 cells/mL Concentration after the 2nd dilution = 12.6 x 106 cells/mL x 1/300 = 42000 cells/mL

) If you counted 500 CFU’s in the petri dish for number 6 and 5000 CFU’s in petri dish for number 7, what would be the most justifiable explanation for this? 19) If the original sample’s concentration was 12 bacterial cells, what do you expect the count to be?
How would you produce a 10^-1 dilution if a 3 mL bacterial sample using the entire 3 mL volume? suppose your professor handed you a test tube with 2.0 mL of an E. coli broth culture in it and told you to make a 10^-1 dilution of the entire culture. Explain how you would do this. Show your calculations.
"If you count 70 colonies from a urine culture obtained using 0.001ml calibrated loop, how many colony forming units (CFU) will be reported?" 70 700 7000 70000 700000
In this experiment, a culture was serially diluted to the concentrations below. Each plate was plated with 0.25mL of the dilution. Using the most diluted plate, what is the correct concentration of the original culture? A) 2.0 X 10^-3 cells/mL B) 2.0 X 10^5 cells/mL C) 4.0 X 10^5 cells/mL D) 5.0 X 10^4 cells/mL
If you started with a bacterial concentration of 2,000,000 bacteria/ml and wanted to plate out 40 bacteria what would be the dilution scheme of using 4 dilutions
What would the final concentration of a bacteria culture be if 2.7 x 106 cells/ml were diluted 8.2 x 10-2? What would the initial concentration of a bacteria culture be if the final concentration was 3.7 x 102 cells/ml and the total dilution was 4.6 x 10-4?
A serial dilution of overnight E.coli culture was performed by pipetting 1ml of a bacterial culture into a 9 ml LB medium. After this, from 10-4 and 10-5 dilution tubes 100µl were plated onto LB agar plates. Upon overnight incubation at 37°C, 200 colonies were counted in 10-4 and 22 colonies were present on 10-5 plates. How many colony-forming units were present per ml of the original culture? If the formula for CFU/ml =no. Of colonies/dilution factor*volume of culture plate
You are testing unpasteurized milk for the presence of bacterial contamination. Starting from the undiluted milk, you do serial dilutions, and plate 0.5 ml of 4th dilution on agar. If you counted 78 CFUs from the 4th plate, how many bacteria/ml do you expect? (show solution) Do you think standard plate counts are very accurate? Why or why not?
A 0.00001 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 223 colonies of bacteria grow on the petri dish. 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.
A laboratory technician performed a series of 10 fold serial dilutions shown below. he plated 0.1 mL from each dilution tube onto NA and got the follow numbers per plate dilution 1:10 1:10 1:100 1:1000 1:10000 1:100000 colony count >1000 >1000 808 303 38 3 calculate the concentration of bacteria in the undiluted stock (in CFU/mL)
In a serial dilution, you plate 1 ml of a 1/1000 dilution of a bacterial culture and find 25 colonies the next day. What was the concentration of cells in the original culture? A) 25 cells/ml B) 0.000025 cells/ml C) 25,000 cells/ml D) 26 cells/ml E) 0.025 cells/ml
