Question
  1. The colony forming units (CFU)/ml in sauerkraut brine are given for different types of bacteria except for leuconostoc (shaded column). To obtain the Leuconostoc counts for different days, 40 microlitre of sauerkraut brine was 10-fold diluted and the CFU was determined by plating different dilutions on agar plates. For
  • Day 0 56 CFU were counted in 10-1 dilution,
  • Day 1 81 CFU were counted in 10-3 dilution,
  • Day 2 86 CFU were counted in 10-3 dilution
  • Day 5 78 CFU were counted in 10-5 dilution

Follow-up Question

but why is the answers all x 1000 at the end? for example day 1 is 2.025×1000=2025CFU/ml.

should the answer not stay at 2.025?

Follow-up Question

are you sure? because my calculations are the same numbers but i got 

Day 0: 14 CFU/ml

Day 1: 2.025 CFU/ml

Day 2: 2.15 CFU/ml

Day 5: 0.0195 CFU/ml
