A phagehunter performs a spot titer using standard techniques (3 ul of each dilution spotted to lawn) of a lysate obtained from an optimum webbed plate experiment. The phagehunter counts 4 plaques on the 10-8 dilution spot. Which of the following scenarios is the best choice for the phagehunter to do next? a.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should try to make more optimum webbed plates. b.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should adopt a phage from direct isolation. c.) The phagehunter has achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments. d.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should go back to the pick-a-plaque experiment.

Currently I am working with qPCR quantification specific for Lactobacillus bacteria. I found in some cases, the sample showing multiple peaks of melting curves while others looks perfect, so do the amplification plot duplication. Any one have an opinion about this issues? Does it caused by sample DNA quality, the omount of the bacteria detected, or primers problem? I am condisering that this condition reflecting the low abundance of the specific bacteria inside its sample.
Among various dye-based assays like Biuret, Lowry, Bicinchronic Acid, and Biuret Protein Assays, what can be done if a concentrated sample is out of the detection range of chosen dye-based assay?
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.
