- microbial sensivity lab: Why does milk that is pasteurized and then refrigerated have a limited shelf life and eventually "spoil"?arrow_forwardtopic: gel electrophoresis What is the purpose of the running buffer?arrow_forwardComputational True or False. UHT-pasteurized milk sample X which was spread-plated in quadruplicates yielded the following bacterial colony counts: 23, 20, 35 and 41 CFU/plate at a dilution factor of 100. Therefore, the milk sample will pass laboratory standards if the quality control laboratory sets the total microbial limit as: “not to exceed more than 30,000 CFU/mL of milk sample”.arrow_forward
- microbial sensitivity lab: Why is the method of testing chemical sensitivity to disinfectants you performed considered somewhat inaccurate?arrow_forwardBio If you plated 100 uL of bacteria from a 10-5 dilution and count 73 colonies after incubating for 24hrs, what is the CFU/mL of the original (undiluted) culture? Question 3 options: 7.3 7.3 x 10^7 7.3 x 10^-6 0.73arrow_forwardCOMPUTATIONAL TRUE OR FALSE Milk sample A contained an average of 53 cells per FOV at a dilution factor of 7 whereas Milk sample B contained an average of 99 cells per FOV at a dilution factor of 5. Therefore, milk sample A has less microbial contamination. (Note: 0.01mL of each sample was placed on a clean glass slide and both samples were examined under OIO with an area of 1.77x10-4 cm2.)arrow_forward
