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
50 g of food is homogenized in 450 mL of water. From this, 1 mL is added to 29 mL of water, and then a 1:90 dilution is made from this, and then 1 mL from this is added to 99 mL of water, and then 100 uL of this last dilution is plated and after incubation 164 colonies are counted.a) What was the overall dilution factor?b) What was the total CFU/g of the original sample?
At the station there is a 2 mL microcentrifuge tube containing sheep blood and 3 tubes containing the following solutions: 0 mM, 300 mM, 600 mM of sucrose. The tubes are randomly labelled A, B, C. 2 mL of each solution were transferred to a different microcentrifuge tube, 20 ul of blood were then added to each tube, and they were mixed well by inverting the tube for multiple times. They were observed and it was determined whether the solution in each tube was hypotonic (Yes or No) relative to the blood cells. In addition, the solutions were diluted with water to help you determine which solution is which sucrose concentration. What sucrose concentration corresponds with each tube? Tube Hypotonic (Yes/No) Hypotonic after 1:1 dilution with water (Yes/No) Most likely Sucrose concentration (mM) A No Yes B Yes Yes C No No
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
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.
You are testing unpasteurized milk for the presence of bacterial contamination. Starting from the undiluted milk, you do serial dilutions, and plate 0.5 ml of 4th dilution on agar. If you counted 78 CFUs from the 4th plate, how many bacteria/ml do you expect? (show solution) Do you think standard plate counts are very accurate? Why or why not?
Refer to the provided image drawn by a student trying to plan out their serial dilution protocol. The student diluted the original culture into bottle A and then diluted it further into B as shown. The student then proceeded with plating out 0.1ml of the culture from bottle B onto the plate (Note: plate A shows the 0.1ml that was plated, no further dilutions were done). If 13 colonies grew on plate A, help the student figure out how many CFU (colony forming units) were in the original culture? Select one: a.1,300 b.13,000 c.None of the Above d.130,000 e.1,000,000
"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
A 10-2 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 61 colonies of bacteria grow on the plate. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture?
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.
