A 0.00001 dilution is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is plated on solid media, and 223 colonies of bacteria grow on the petri dish.  Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using exponential notation. Since only 0.1 mL is put on the plate, this counts as an extra dilution!!! Any time less than 1 mL is transfered, a dilution is being performed. Any time more than 1 mL is transfered, a concentration is being performed.
