- 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. A 10-5 dilution is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the…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 0.0000040001Below 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
- In an experiment to calculate the decimal reduction time for an Escherichia coli culture, viable cells were exposed to a constant temperature of 80°C for a set amount of time. After exposure, the remaining number of surviving cells were counted. Based on Table 1, what is the decimal reduction time?Table 1. Decimal Reduction Time for E. coli Heated to 80°C Total time of exposure (minutes): Number of Microbial Cells Present: 0 100 1 80 3 50 4 42 6.5 26 13 10 21 0You were asked to prepare a dilution series of a bacterial culture where only 3 tubes will be used (all with 5 mL total solution). Draw a schematic diagram to make tube 1 have a 10-2 dilution, tube 2 have 10-3 dilution, and tube 3 to have 10-5 dilution You were instructed to dilute an antibiotic solution 1/10, redilute 1/25, and again 1/50, then you need to make 100mL of each dilution. How would you go about preparing this dilution series? (Present your answer in a schematic diagram)A bacterial culture has a concentration of 3.2 x 108 cells /mL. You dilute this culture as follows: 1/50, then 10-3 and finally 1/20. If you then plate 0.2 mL of the final dilution, how many CFU would you expect following incubation?
- If 0.1 ml of a 1 * 10−6 dilution plate contains 56 colonies, calculate thenumber of cells per ml of the original culturePer the USDA, whole, unpasteurized fresh eggs can contain no more than 50,000 CFU/mL bacteria in a standard plate count. You are curious if the fresh eggs that you buy from your neighbor are considered safe to consume so you use your eScience Microbiology kit to test these eggs using direct plate count after serial dilution. After you complete the experiment, you obtain 74 countable colonies from the 10-2 dilution plate. The inoculum volume you plated was 0.1 mL. How many bacteria are present in 1 mL of the egg you sampled? Are these eggs considered safe to consume per USDA standards?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 Concentration after the 2nd dilution
- Given a log phase bacterial culture with 1 x 10^6 cells per ml and a generation time of 30 minutes how long does it take the culture to reach a density of 6.4 x 10^7 cells per ml?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 plateA microbiology student was given a mixed culture of two different gram positive bacteria species to grow into a culture medium using correct aseptic techniques. After two days,one gram positive bacterial species grew on the media and the growth appeared red on the surface of the medium. Tthe second gram positive bacterial species grew and the growth appeared yellow on the surface of the medium. What is the possible explanation for the differences in the color of the bacterial growth? A. the culture was contaminated B. the microbiologist put too much inoculum on the culture medium C. the medium was a selective medium D. the medium was differential
