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

On the graph that relates absorbance to flavin concentration, draw a horizontal line that starts at the point on the y-axis that corresponds to the absorbance of your unknown sample and ends at the curve you drew through your data points . Next draw a vertical line that starts at the point where the horizontal line intersected the curve and ends at the x-axis. The point where this vertical line intersects the x-axis corresponds to the concentration of flavin in your unknown sample. What was the letter on the tube with your unknown sample? What is the concentration of the flavin in your unknown
How would you produce a 10^-1 dilution if a 3 mL bacterial sample using the entire 3 mL volume? suppose your professor handed you a test tube with 2.0 mL of an E. coli broth culture in it and told you to make a 10^-1 dilution of the entire culture. Explain how you would do this. Show your calculations.
A sample is diluted by a factor of 10 five times. The 10^-3 dilution has 272 colonies on it. Assuming you plated the same volume on each plate, how many colonies would you expect to find on the 10^-2 plate? Include units and use OCD formula.
Using absorbance readings and a standard curve relating absorbance to cell number, you suspect that a bacterial culture contains 7.4 x 109 CFUs/ml. What dilution of this sample would give you a countable plate?

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…

Five dialysis bags, impermeable to sucrose, were filled with various concentrations of sucrose and then placed in separate beakers containing an initial concentration of 0.6 M sucrose solution. At 10 minute intervals, the bags were weighed and the percent change in mass of each bag was graphed. Which line represents the bag that contained a solution isotonic to the 0.6 M solution at the beginning of the experiment? Which line represents the bag with the highest initial concentration of sucrose? Which line or lines represent bags that contain a solution that is still hypertonic at the end of 60 minutes? What is the best explanation for the shape of line e. after 50 minutes?
