As shown in this diagram, you perform a ten-fold serial dilution of a culture to determine the number of colony forming units (CFU) per mL it contains. You do a plate count with these growth results (no. of colonies for each dilution): 1:10 too many to count; 1:100 too many to count; 1:1,000 174; 1:10,000 23; 1:100,000 no growth.

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
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.
Below 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
A strep culture is sampled at two points in time, 1 hour and 10 minutes apart. 3.2 x 105 cells/ml are found in the first sample, and 1.8 x 107 cells/ml in the second sample. What was the generation or doubling time (in minutes)?
plates normally show a 10-fold decrease in colony number through the dilutions, e.g. 500 on Plate D, ~50 on E, ~5 on F, and maybe none on G. If this was not observed, what human errors might have contributed to inconsistent serial dilution? How could one ensure proper serial dilution technique for future labs?
You perform a set of serial dilutions using 99-mL water blanks (successive 1-mL dilutions into blanks A, B, and C, respectively). Following spread plating and incubation of a 0.1 mL subsample from Blank C, you count 66 colonies on the plate. How many colony-forming units are in the original broth culture?
"If you count 70 colonies from a urine culture obtained using 0.001ml calibrated loop, how many colony forming units (CFU) will be reported?" 70 700 7000 70000 700000
If 0.1 ml of a 1 * 10−6 dilution plate contains 56 colonies, calculate thenumber of cells per ml of the original culture

How would you draw out a step in an experiment that included the following? Please help, I am so lost. Metal coupon inoculation (vortex/bead method) and assessment of viable cells by culture to simulate wet fomite or dry touch surface contamination.
volume of the quasi-steady-state culture was V0= 500 L, and the nutrient solution containing glucose was added at a constant flow rate of F = 50 L/h.Data: X0 (at the beginning of feeding) = 20 g/L, S0 = 300 g/L, max = 0.2 h-1, KS = 0.5 g/L and Y x/s= 0.3 g/g a) Determine the volume of the culture at t = 10hb) Determine the concentration of glucose at t = 10 hc) determine the concentration and total mass of cells at t = 10 hd) If product is associated with growth with α = 1.5 and P0 = 0.1 g/L, determine the concentration of product at t = 10h. (answer:P = 67,55 g/L)
The following are errors that people commonly make when they perform serial dilutions. Indicate whether you think that the number of cfu/ ml calculated would be too high or too low if you make this mistake. You intend to add 0.9 ml of diluent to each tube and 0.1 ml of culture. Instead, you add 0.5 ml of diluent to each tube and 0.1 ml of culture to the first tube. Then, you make a serial dilution of 0.1 ml into and from each tube as described. You prepare 0.9 ml of diluents in each tube. You add 0.1 ml of culture (from the overnight culture provided) to every tube. You add 0.9 ml of diluent to each tube. You add 0.1 ml of culture to the first tube and mix. You get distracted, and transfer 0.1 ml to the third tube instead of the second. You perform the rest of the series as described.
