After that, 0.1 ml of this was added to 9.9 ml of sterile water. This was further diluted by four successive 1/10 dilutions. The last dilution was used to prepare a spread plate. After incubation, 58 colonies were present on this plate. What is the CFU/g of the soil sample?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 scheme
