Question
Indicate whether you think that the number of cfu/ ml calculated would be too high or too low if you make this mistake.
- 1.You intend to add 9ml of broth (water) to each tube and 1 ml of culture. Instead, you add 5 ml of broth to each tube and 5 ml of culture to the first tube. Then, you make a serial dilution of 1 ml into and from each tube as described.
2. You prepare 9 ml of broth (water) in each tube. You add 1ml of culture of every tube.
3.You add 9 ml of broth (water) to each tube. You add 1 ml of culture to the first tube and mix. You get distracted, and transfer 1ml of the dilutant (mixture of culture and broth) to the third tube instead of the second. You perform the rest of the series as described.

You wish to determine viable counts on a culture of Bacillus subtilis. You begin by pipetting 1 ml of culture into 99 ml of sterile water. After mixing the dilution well you make a series of 4 further dilutions of 10-1 each. From the three most dilute samples, you prepare three pour plates using 1 ml in each. After incubation you find the plate counts of the plates are 16, 245 and 890 respectively. a) Show the dilution scheme. b) What is the estimated viable count (cells/ml) in the original culture? 2. Scientific Notation. Fill in the missing information. a) 4.5 x 109 = _______ b) 50 x 107 = _______ c) 2300 x 1010 = _______ d) 0.54 x 108 = _______arrow_forwardDraw the steps of Qualitative Slide Test in LATEX AGGLUTINATION TEST FOR THE DETECTION OF RHEUMATOID FACTOR: SCREEN AND TITER 1. Bring all reagents and test samples to room temperature before use. 2. Make a 1:20 dilution of the patient serum by pipetting 0.1 ml of patient serum into 1.9 mL of 1X diluent or saline in a test tube. Pipet 50 µl of the diluted sample onto one test circle on the slide. 3. Place one drop (about 50 mL) of positive control onto a separate test circle and one drop of negative control onto another test circle. 4. Invert the latex reagent bottle several times to mix the beads into the suspension. Add one drop of well-shaken reagent to each test area of the slide. 5. Mix each test area with a disposable stirrer, spreading each mixture over the entire section. Use a clean disposable stirrer for each test area. 6. Rock the slide gently with a rotary motion for 2 minutes and observe immediately for agglutination.arrow_forward
