a. Let’s say for example that a milk sample has 10,000 bacteria per milliliters. If 1 mL of this sample were plated out, these would theoretically be 10,000 colonies in the Petri plate. Discuss and explain the serial dilutions of this example. b. The disk diffusion method was used to evaluate 3 disinfectants. The results were as follows: Solution Zone of inhibition X 0 mm Y 5 mm Z 10 mm How would you interpret? Provide inference.

In sample preparation for electron microscopy, arrange the following steps in correct order A. Apply non-coagulant fixatives to kill cells instantly with minimal structural alterations. B. Wash the specimen with deionized water and then dry it by passing through increasing concentrations of ethanol. C. Expose specimens to uranyl salts to enhance the electron scattering capacity of cellular components. D.

4 mL of 10% TCA solution was added to 1 mL of serum and after mixing, it was waited for two minutes and filtered through non-phosphorus filter paper. 1 mL of the filtrate was taken and 13 mL of distilled water, 4 mL of sulfomolybdic acid and 2 mL of dilute SnCl2 solution were added and mixed, and after waiting for 15 minutes, the absorbances of the obtained solutions against pure water at 520 nm were read. If the function of the calibration graph obtained with 0.5-2.5 mg/mL standard phosphorus solutions is y= 0.245x + 0.107 and the absorbance value of the serum sample is 0.109, what is the amount of phosphorus in the sample?

Given this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution. Given that each bacterial…
