Pls show complete solutions also for the computation part. Thank you. 1. A bacterial culture was grown for 9 hours. At 3-hour interval, the culture was sampled to determine the population of the culture, by transferring 25 ml of the suspension to 225 ml 0.85% NaCl. Three consecutive dilutions were further made by using 1 ml aliquot in 9 ml of 0.85% NaCl. One ml from each dilution was plated in each of duplicate plates. The following table shows the results of the plating method. Sampling COUNTS 3rd dilution 0; 0 240; 235 1st dilution 2nd dilution 4th dilution 1st 2nd 3rd 55; 60 TNTC TNTC 5; 6 TNCT TNTC 0, 0 30: 35 250;245 TNTC a) Illustrate the dilution series used and label the final dilution of each dilution. b) Determine the bacterial count (CFU/ml) every 3 hours of incubation for 9 hours. Show all computations.

Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
