The students of a Microbiology class were tasked to transfer or subculture a pure culture of Escherichia coli bacterium in five 7 mL nutrient broth and five petri dishes of nutrient agar with 20 mL capacity each. Based on the instruction bottles for nutrient broth and nutrient agar, preparation of the culture media is as follows. Nutrient broth: 8 g/liter Nutrient agar: 28 g/liter Answer the following: a. What is the weight in grams of nutrient broth? b. What is the weight in grams of nutrient agar? c. What is the distilled water in mL for nutrient broth? d. What is the distilled water in mL for nutrient agar?

you are given a mixed culture of s. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. how would you isolate each other from this mixed culture?( Besides using plate technique)
You were asked to prepare a dilution series of a bacterial culture where only 3 tubes will be used (all with 5 mL total solution). Draw a schematic diagram to make tube 1 have a 10-2 dilution, tube 2 have 10-3 dilution, and tube 3 to have 10-5 dilution You were instructed to dilute an antibiotic solution 1/10, redilute 1/25, and again 1/50, then you need to make 100mL of each dilution. How would you go about preparing this dilution series? (Present your answer in a schematic diagram)
