- You are given a bacterial culture which has a concentration of approximately 5.0 x 10^8 cells/mL. List a series of dilutions and platings that you could carry out in order to determine the exact concentration of the culture. Note that you must plate four plates from a minimum of two dilution tubes. The volumes plated should be in the range of 0.1 mL – 1.0 mL. Duplicate volumes may not be plated from any one dilution tube. Each plating should aim for a count between 30 and 300 CFUs. You can select any value from 30-300 for CFU and any volume from 0.1-1.0 to find out dilution schemeThe number of bacterial cells in a culture broth is to be determined by a culture technique. Serial dilutions were performed and a 1 mL aliquot from each dilution was mixed with warm molten agar and poured into a Petri dish. The numbers of bacterial colony forming units (CFU) after overnight incubation are shown in the table below. What is the number of colony forming units per mL of the culture broth? Choose only the most appropriate plate for your calculation. Give your answer as the number only (do not add text for the units). You may use scientific notation with the format 1.12e+6 (that is, 1.12 x 106 cfu/mL). (Note: Canvas will then display your answer a whole number.)

What volume of the old culture would you add to the new media?A bacterial culture was grown for 12 hours. At 4-hour interval, the culture was sampled to determine the population of the culture, by transferring 25 ml of the suspension to 225 ml 0.90% NaCl. Three consecutive dilutions were further made by using I ml aliquot in 9 ml of 0.90% NaCl. One ml from each dilution was plated in each of duplicate plates.
