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
Given the scenario, compute for the total volume of the culture media solution (milliliter or liter) and dehydrated media (grams). Scenario: The students of a Microbiology class were tasked to transfer or subculture a pure culture of Escherichia coli bacterium in five 7 mL nutrient broth and five petri dishes of nutrient agar with 20 mL capacity each. Based on the instruction bottles for nutrient broth and nutrient agar, preparation of the culture media is as follows. Nutrient broth: 8 g/liter Nutrient agar: 28 g/liter Formula: C1V1 = C2V2 *Concentration *Volume Computation: What are the answers to the following. Weight in grams of nutrient broth: _________ Distilled water in mL for nutrient broth: __________ Weight in grams of nutrient agar __________ Distilled water in mL for nutrient agar: ____________
Complete the following questions for your gram negative rod unknown organism (a) What test did you run for your second test on your gram negative rod organism? Citrate test (b) What was the result of this second test? Positive (c) What does the result of your second test tell you about the biological and/or metabolic characteristics of your gram negative rod unknown microorganism? Please answer (d) If your organism requires a third test, what do you propose as your third test on your gram negative rod unknown organism? If it does not require a third test, just put "Gram negative rod identified". Please answer
Your instructor asks you to isolate and identify the organisms in an unknown culture. You find that the culture contains two gramnegative bacilli that produce swarming colonies. What biochemical test would you use to identify the bacilli? Justify your answer.
One ml of a sample was added to 99 ml of buffer. 100 µ of this was plated in nutrient agar. After incubation, 247 colonies were present on the plate. How many colony-forming units were present per ml of the original sample? Show your working out. What would you record in your workbook if there were 378 colonies present? Why? B. Give definitions of these bacterial growth in relation to O2 availability. 1. E. coli , micrococcus Letues, clostridium sprogenes
Here is an image of a UV-irradiation (wavelength 254nm) experiment performed on a plate of E. coll after incubation. Which side of the plate do you think has a zero-minute' negative control? A or B or neither? Explain with proper reasoning.
You aseptically transfer 1 ml of your optional liquid culture into 99 ml of sterile water. What is the dilution factor. Show work
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.
You perform a serial dilution of a water sample and the 10-7 tube when 0.1 ml was plated onto the nutrient agar plates after incubation and gave you 24 colonies. What is the CFU/ml? What is a CFU?
You are given a hypothetical bacterial culture, outline the steps that will enable you to determine if it is gram + cocci, gram + rod, gram - Lactose fermenter. If it is gram + cocci, how would you determine if it is Staphylococcus or Streptococcus You requested the following media/reagent (Iodine, Ferric Chloride, Kovac's reagent, Rabbit plasma, bacitracin antibiotic) for your unknown, what are you testing for:
In this step, wash the cells with ice-cold PBS. Drain the PBS, then add ice-cold lysis buffer. Scrape adherent cells off the dish using a cold plastic cell scraper, then gently transfer the cell suspension into a pre-cooled microfuge tube. Maintain constant agitation for 30 minutes at 4°C. Centrifuge in a microcentrifuge at 4°C. You may have to vary the centrifugation force and time depending on the cell type. Gently remove the tubes from the centrifuge and place on ice, aspirate the supernatant and place in a fresh tube kept on ice, and discard the pellet. Q3: To make sure that you used a similar amount of samples, what important step should be done before proceeding the electrophoresis stage? Once you have determined the concentration of each sample, you can freeze them at -20°C or -80°C for later use or prepare for immunoprecipitation or for loading onto a gel. Q4. Why is it necessary to store the prepared lysates in a very low temperature? PLEASE ANSWER Q3 AND Q4
You are asked to make a 1:1000 dilution of a bacterial culture in a final volume of 5000 mL. What should be your initial volume from the original culture? Show solution.
