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
How do you calculate the initial concentration of a sample? How would you make a 1:10 dilution of a broth culture if the final volume of the dilution is 10 ml? How much broth, and how much diluent, would you add? If you made a series of tenfold dilutions, exactly the same way as you described in question 1, what would be the dilution factor in the fifth tube? 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…
