Which of the following is false about a colony? O A colony is a population of cells formed from a single bacterlal cell or a colony forming unit. O A colony is pure and produced from one bacterial cell. Pure colonies are isolated by streaking. O A colony consist of billions of bacterial cells. O A colony is a mixture of different bacterial cells.

A sample of raw ground beef initially contained 25 E. Coli bacteria. After six hours, there are 102 400 cells in the sample. What is the growth rate of the E. coli population? Show all work. Express your answer using scientific notation in the form of xyz 10 d #bacteria/hr.
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 obtain a 1 mL sample of contaminated drinking water in order to calculate the number of fecal bacteria in the water. The 1 mL sample is diluted into a first bottle with 99 mL of sterile saline. One mL from the first bottle is transferred into a second bottle of saline containing 9 mL. Finally, 1 mL from the second bottle is transferred to a third bottle with 9 mL of saline. You create two spread plates from the third bottle: plating 0.1 mL results in 106 colonies, while plating 1 mL results in 562 colonies. How many fecal bacteria per mL are in the drinking water? This is a homework assignment, and I am struggling to do this correctly. Thanks for your help.
You have a culture of bacteria with an unknown number of bacteria in it. You have at your disposal 10 1-mL pipettes, 3 dilution bottles that hold up to 100mL of volume, 3 test tubes that hold up to 10mL of volume, a graduated cylinder, an unlimited supply of distilled water. Explain how you would set up a 1: 10,000,000 dilution of your culture.
A trp+, arg+ E. coli cell can grow on? A:Minimal medium B:Minimal medium plus amino acids C:Complete medium D:All of the above
Polymyxins are antibiotics that are used in the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections. You are given samples of two different types of bacteria. You are told that Bacteria A is Gram-negative bacteria and Bacteria B is Gram-positive bacteria. Describe, in your own words, how you would confirm the bacterial types.
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/mL
A species of bacteria has a doubling time of 24 hours. After incubating the initial population for one week, the final population was 6,400 cells. What was the initial population of that bacteria? Show all work. Equations: Nt = No x 2n Final concentration = (initial concentration)/(total dilution factor) Total dilution factor = (individual dilution factor)# of serial dilutions
A disease was caused by a bacterium, you want to produce a biological product to kill this bacterium. Which product you have to produce? How can you use your biotechnological knowledge to produce it I high amount?
You use a spectrophometer and estimate the concentration of bacteria in a urine sample to be 4.6 x 10^5 cells/ml. Assuming you will plate 0.1ml of your samples, to what factor should you dilute your sample to get a countable number of colonies? Rearrange Original Cell Density formula to solve.
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?
