Chapter 7, Problem 8R
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Disinfectant is a chemical agent which destroys bacteria and hinder its growth. Effective disinfectant should stop bacterial growth even in high dilution levels. When it reduces its effects and allows growth of bacteria, its usage become futile.

A sample is diluted by a factor of 10 five times. The 10^-3 dilution has 272 colonies on it. Assuming you plated the same volume on each plate, how many colonies would you expect to find on the 10^-2 plate? Include units and use OCD formula.
How would you make two-fold serial dilutions such that the last tube is a 1:32 dilution of the original, concentrated material? Assume that you need to have at least 500 µl of each dilution, and you should be able to perform the dilutions in microfuge tubes with a maximum capacity of 1.5 ml.
What is the amount (mL) of pre-culture (108 cell/mL) necessary to inoculate (to add) in a 2-liter culture media for a concentration of 6.5 × 106 cells/mL?
