Question
Chapter 4.3, Problem 4TQ
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The concentration of bacteria with reference to the provided figure.
Introduction:
Growth and management of a bacterial culture is essential to deduce the habits, physiology, and the growth conditions of any bacteria. The growing pattern deduction is incomplete until the number of bacteria in a particular sample is not known. In order to determine better culture habitats of the bacteria, various counting methods are employed.

If the volume of a Staphylococcus aureus cell is estimated at 0.5 μm3, how many cells could be accommodated, in principle, in 5 mL of saturated culture? (1 mL = 1 cm3). Show your calculations.
Give explanation Detailed Solution (Don't give Handwritten answer)
the 10 mg/mL sample of lysozyme shows a lower activity than 2mg/mL lysozyme sample (refer to the graph shown below). It is potentially due to
Inefficiency of lysozyme at high concentrations.
Highest concentrated lysozymes do have lowest activity.
Loss of data due to user inefficiency.
Loss of data due to spectrophotometer inefficiency.

Explain a quick process for determining the outcome of this experiment.arrow_forwardFigure 3: ● ● ● ● ● ● KDa ● 97.4 66.2 45.0 ● 31.0- 21.5 14.4 S-1 p-1 S-2 2-0 This figure was generated by centrifuging a pura sample of protein, removing the supernatant, and resuspending the pellet in the same volume as the supernatant to allow direct comparison. The supernatant and pellet samples were then prepared for SDS-PAGE identically and run via normal SDS-PAGE procedures. In the figure, "s" means supernatant and "p" means pellet. The text or number after the dash represents a different condition. For example, s-1 and p-1 are the supernatant and pellet samples under condition 1. It is not shown, but under wild-type conditions, essentially all of the protein is found in the supernatant. S-3 ● What does the intensity of each band represent? ● Would you find soluble protein in the supernatant or pellet? Why? Would you find aggregated protein in the supernatant or pellet? Why? For each condition (there are 5 different conditions), is there a higher percentage of the total protein…arrow_forward
- You're trying to purify a protein with the aid of an ion exchange column. On the column, the protein is currently immobilized. Describe a modification you might make to the buffer that runs across the column to allow the protein to elute from it.arrow_forwardGive Explanation Detailed Solutionarrow_forwardEpulopiscium fishelsoni is a Gram-positive bacteria found in the gut of a sturgeon fish. The largest ones found are up to 700μm in length. Your field of view when using the 100X objective has a diameter of 12mm. If you were to line up your Epulopiscium fishelsoni in a strepto- fashion, how many entire bacteria would fit in your field of view? Write just the number with any needed commas. Do not include units.arrow_forward

The stock solution concentration of compound A is 1 mM. What two controls should you have in your cell culture experiment using compound A? Explain both the type of controls and the concentration or volume of the treatments.arrow_forwarda. Let’s say for example that a milk sample has 10,000 bacteria per milliliters. If 1 mL of this sample were plated out, these would theoretically be 10,000 colonies in the Petri plate. Discuss and explain the serial dilutions of this example. b.
