Question
Transcribed Image Text:Im 100
4. You have a culture of yeast that is at a density of 8x10' cells/mL. You dilute the sample 1:10, then
1:1,000 again, and finally you dilute the sample an additional 1:5. You add 0.1 mL of the final dilution
to a spread plate. Assuming that most of the cells in the original culture were living, how many colony-
forming units do you expect to count on your pour plate the next day?

- Imagine you have been given a liquid culture of yeast with a starting concentration of 3.67 x 10' cells/ml and are asked to carry out the sample dilution process shown in the figure below. 100μl 100μl 100μl 100μl 100μl 0.9ml 0.9ml 0.9ml H2O H₂O 6.9ml 0.9ml H₂O H₂O H₂O Original 10-1 102 10-3 104 Culture 105 100μl 100μl 100μl Plate A Plate B Plate C a. How many colonies should have been present on Plate A in this example? - Answers must be whole numbers as partial colonies are not expected. b. Imagine you carried out the same dilution scheme shown in the figure above, but now, you do not know the concentration of the original culture. If you counted 163 colonies on Plate B, what is the concentration of cells/ml in the original culture?arrow_forwardCould you please assist with correct number?arrow_forwardYou have a starter culture containing 8 x 109 cells per mL, from which you take 10mL to inoculate a fresh 1 L culture.

- As shown in this diagram, you perform a ten-fold serial dilution of a culture to determine the number of colony forming units (CFU) per mL it contains. You do a plate count with these growth results (no. of colonies for each dilution): 1:10 too many to count; 1:100 too many to count; 1:1,000 174; 1:10,000 23; 1:100,000 no growth.

- Using a dilution series is a way to transfer the very small volumes of original culture necessary to get countable colony forming units. If you suspect your culture of bacteria has 59.62*10^9 cells per mL, how many mL of original culture would you want to end up on the plate to produce 68 cfu? Express your answer in scientific notation rounded to two decimal places. Eg. 0.01001 would be 1.00*10^-2 You must include trailing zeros 0.0000040001 would be reported as 4.00*10^-6 There must always be two decimal places, even if they are zeros Canvas expects one digit before the decimal point 0.40*10^-5 would be marked incorrect for 0.0000040001arrow_forwardYou have a culture that has 5 X10³ cfu/ml of bacteria in it. You perform a serial dilution by adding 1 ml of the stock in 9ml of TSB in Tube A and mix. You then take 1 ml from Tube A and add it to 9 ml of TSB in Tube B and mix. Last you take 1 ml from tube B and add it to a TSA plate. After overnight incubation, you count the colonies you see. How many colonies will you see? a) 5000 b) 500 c) 50 d) 5 e) .5arrow_forwardPlease asaparrow_forward
