- 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. A 10-5 dilution is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the…You counted 4, 6, 12, 3 cells in each of the 4.outed squares of a hemacytomeyer. What are the cells per milliliter in that culture? If you resuspended your cell pellet 2.5 mL, what is the total cell count? How many uL do you need to add to a new culture if you want 4250 cells?You have spread 0.1ml of a 1x10-8 diluted bacterial culture sample on a Petridish and counted35 colonies. What was the cell density of your original culture (in cells/ml)? How many cellsdid you have in 100ml of that culture? DON’T FORGET TO ROUND!
- You plate 100 uL of a bacterial culture on an LBA plate and incubate for one day at 37 degrees Celsius. You count 100 colonies (colony forming units). What is the concentration of cells you plated (represented in units of CFU/mL)? Hint: look at the units carefully. I put 10000 last time and it was wrong!! that is all the information given... 5 cfu/mL b. 1,000 cfu/mL c. 500 cfu/mL d. 1 cfu/mL e. 10,000 cfu/mLIn a plate count, 1 mL of culture is spread on a plate and incubated for 24 hours. 250 colonies are counted. Answer the question below. there were _____cells in the 1 mL of culture that was spread on the plate. If the culture was diluted 1:100 prior to plating, how many cells were there per mL in the original culture? _________A serial dilution of a bacterial culture yields the following number of colonies. Which plate(s) should be used to determine the original cell density? Plate A Plate B Plate C Plate D Plate E Dilution Factor 10-5 10-6 10-7 10-8 10-9 # of Colonies Too many to count 850 456 80 14 Group of answer choices All of these choices A & B D & E E None of these choices A B & C D B C & D C
- A bacterial culture has a concentration of 3.2 x 108 cells /mL. You dilute this culture as follows: 1/50, then 10-3and finally 1/20. If you then plate 0.2 mL of the final dilution, how many CFU would you expect following incubation?A stock solution of a bacterial strain is diluted 1/10000 to a total volume of 500ul. Then, 50ul of the dilution are spread onto a plate. The next day you count 150 colonies. What is the concentration of the stock solution in bacteria/ul?One ml of a water sample was placed in a Petri dish with melted agar. After incubation, 129 colonies were counted. How many bacteria (CFU/ml) are in the sample? Thank you
- Based on prior experiments, you have determined that for a culture of S. aureus an absorbance reading of 1.0 AU650 is approximately equal to 5.75 x 106 cells/mL. How many cells should be present after 8 generations in a 1 mL culture, if the initial cell culture had an absorbance reading of 1.25In a serial dilution, you plate 1 ml of a 1/1000 dilution of a bacterial culture and find 25 colonies the next day. What was the concentration of cells in the original culture? A) 25 cells/ml B) 0.000025 cells/ml C) 25,000 cells/ml D) 26 cells/ml E) 0.025 cells/ml3. One gram of soil was suspended in 9 ml saline and thoroughly mixed. From this suspension, 4 serial, 1:10 dilutions were made. 200 hundred microliters of each of the last four serial dilutions were used for spread plating on TY media, resulting in 5600 colonies, 412 colonies, 54 colonies and 8 colonies. What do you calculate as the bacterial concentration in the soil? (For your information 1 gram = 1 ml)
