You are culturing bacteria using a petri dish, the bacteria grow very well on this plate you have. However, your microbiology instructor wants to know how many bacteria per milliliter (bacteria/mL) are on your plate. And as you have remembered during the first day of inoculating this bacteria you used a imL aliquots sample of a 1:10,000 dilution, and the total colony you counted on this plate is 170. How many bacterial per milliliters would that be?

INSTRUCTION: Give the principle or significance of the following practices: NOTE: *please add references* 1. Flaming the mouth or lid of culture tubes or plates after opening and before closing them. 2. Flaming the inoculating needle or loop before and after inoculation. 3. Holding caps, lids, or cotton plugs rather than putting them on the table while inoculating.

EXPERIMENT 2 Title: Aseptic technique Objectives: To apply the aseptic technique To observe the growth found on the petri dish. Material/apparatus: Gloves, incubator, soap for handwashing, tissues, nutrient agar, 70% alcohol Procedure: Wipe off the bench with 70% alcohol. Draw a line down the middle of the petri dish to divide the plate in half. Label each halves with A and B. Press your unwashed thumb onto the agar at column A. Apply proper handwashing technique. Put the same thumb after washing onto agar at the column B. Incubate the petri dish at 37°C for 24 hours or overnight. Observe and note down the colonies. Results:
By applying Gravimetry, Titration (Chemical indicator) and Potentiometry lessons which technique should be used in following situations. Explain your answer. In your explanation, state what is the advantage of the technique you chose over other technique and /or the barrier/difficulty of using the technique. Your choice should not be dependent on cost. For chem students- Total Acid content per tablet of a newly developed drug that has yellow coating Target level is 1%.
The figure above depicts an agar cube with a side length of 13\, \text{mm}13mm13, start text, m, m, end text. In an experiment, students submerged the cube in red dye for 121212 hours. The red dye permeated 1\, \text{mm}1mm1, start text, m, m, end text on each side, as indicated by the shading in the figure. Volume of a rectangular solid: V = lwhV=lwhV, equals, l, w, h Calculate the volume of the agar cube that remained unpenetrated by the red dye.

Please answer it correctly for an Upvote. Thank you. •Explain why cfu/unit analyzed is being used to express the microbial load of samples acquired using the pour and spread plate procedures.
Please describe in detail what would be a suitable procedure should you break anErlenmeyer flask containing 50 mL of a biosafety level 2 microorganism inside amicrobiological safety cabinet.
TRUE or FALSE only! 1. The most important step in doing a slide mount technique is fixing the sample with heat or chemicals. 2. Diluted samples from the serial dilution procedure are used for pour plating and spread plating methods which can be done simultaneously. 3. In doing aseptic techniques, it is practiced to touch the tip of the inoculating loop to test its coolness for transfer of cultures. 4. One of the important points to consider when calibrating an ocular micrometer is that its lines must properly superimpose with that of a stage microruler.
