Dilution Problem. A culture of Staphylococcus is diluted as follows:
(1) 20mL are added to 80mL of water.
(2) 10uL from (1) are then added to 9.99mL of water.
(3) A 10-2 dilution is made from tube # (2).
(4) 100uL from (3) are plated for a pour plate and incubated.
Growth Problem.A culture with approximately 2x103 cells/mL were incubated. After 3 hours, the number of cells had increased to 3x105.
a) How long was the generation time in minutes?b) How many generations have occurred
