Question
) If you counted 500 CFU’s in the petri dish for number 6 and 5000 CFU’s in petri dish
for number 7, what would be the most justifiable explanation for this?
19) If the original sample’s concentration was 12 bacterial cells, what do you expect the
count to be?

- If 1.0 mL of a 1:1000 dilution produces 200 colonies on a culture plate, how many bacteria were present per mL in the original (undiluted) sample? 200,000 20,000 2,000 200arrow_forwardYou have several different media onto which you inoculated eight strains of yeast (A-H). The media include a rich medium, an unsupplemented minimal medium, and minimal media each supplemented with one vitamin. Of the yeast strains, one is a prototroph and seven are auxotrophs for a vitamin. After overnight incubation, the following results were observed (tan patches represent growth): D plate 1 (A) B DE F GH plate 5 plate 4 plate 6 Which plate contains an unsupplemented minimal medium? [Select] Which plate contains a rich medium? [Select] plate 2 Which strain is a prototroph? [Select] Strain E is an auxotroph for niacin. Which plate reveals this specific auxotrophy? [ Select] plate 3 plate 7 One strain is an auxotroph for both choline and pantothenic acid. Which one is this most likely to be? [Select]arrow_forwardYou are added 60mL of soil slurry to 540mL of sterile water. You can transferred 1000uL of that dilution to 9 mL of water. You then prepared a 10-7 dilution from that tube. You finally transfer 1 uL of that to a TSA plate. After 48 hours, you counted 32 colonies on quarter of the plate. (A) How many cells/mL were present in the original soil sample? (B) How many colonies would be present on the plate if you would have plated 1mL of the last sample? (C) How many milliliters would you need to prepare a 10-4 from 100uL of sample?arrow_forward
- A stock solution of a bacterial strain is diluted 1/10000 to a total volume of 500ul. Then, 50ul of the dilution are spread onto a plate. The next day you count 150 colonies. What is the concentration of the stock solution in bacteria/ul?arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the term plating efficiency?arrow_forwardA laboratory technician performed a series of 10 fold serial dilutions shown below. he plated 0.1 mL from each dilution tube onto NA and got the follow numbers per plate dilution 1:10 1:10 1:100 1:1000 1:10000 1:100000 colony count >1000 >1000 808 303 38 3 calculate the concentration of bacteria in the undiluted stock (in CFU/mL)arrow_forward
- A 10-2 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 61 colonies of bacteria grow on the plate. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture?arrow_forwardAssume that you are starting with a sample containing 6 billion active cells. Create a dilution plan to reduce this count to a range of 30-300 colonies on a plate. The powdered sample weighs 500 mg (0.5 g). You can use up to 4 plates – you should plate different dilutions and/or volumes of solution. Start your first dilution by adding 10 mL diluent to 0.5 g powder, which is a 1/20 dilution. Hint: Rearranging the “cfu/ml” formula from our dilutions lab can help you solve this. Choose a target cfu count, and your volume plated should be under 0.5 ml.arrow_forwardYou were instructed to add 1.0 mL out of 4.0 mL of an undiluted sample to 99 mL of sterile diluent. Instead, you add the entire 4.0 mL to the 99 mL. A.) What was your intended dilution factor? B.) What was your actual dilution factor?arrow_forward
- How do you know if you have a ‘countable’ plate when doing a dilution series? Two plates received 0.1 mL of the same dilution tube. The first has 293 colonies and the second has 158 colonies. Suggest a reasonable reason why this happened.arrow_forwardHow many cells would you be plating if you pipetted 200uL into your dish from a 125 x 104 cells/mL cells suspension?arrow_forwardTo determine the number of cells in a pure culture of Klebsiella pneumoniae, you have performed a serial dilution using three tubes of sterile saline (9.9 ml each). A sample of 0.1 ml from the culture was added to tube 1. Similarly, 0.1 ml from tube 1 was used to inoculate tube 2, and tube 3 was inoculated using 0.1 ml from tube 2. A nutrient agar plate was then inoculated using 0.1 ml from tube 3 and incubated overnight. The next day, 92 colonies were observed on the plate. How many cfu/ml were in the original culture? Using a Petroff-Hauser counting chamber, the number of cells in the same culture was estimated to be 8.5 • 109 cells/ml. How can you explain these results?arrow_forward
