3. A bacterial culture was diluted and results from duplicate plates were obtained as indicated below. What was the number of colony forming units/mL of the original culture? Dilution used for plating 10-2 10-3 104 10-5 10⁰ 10-7 10-8 4. 5. Amount plated 0.1 mL 0.1 mL 0.1 mL 0.1 mL 0.1 mL 0.1 mL 0.1 mL Colony counts after incubation (Results from duplicate plates) Too many to count Too many to count 341 413 99 175 27 : 29 7:2 0:0 Ten grams of hamburger were added to 90 mL of sterile buffer. This was mixed well in a blender. One-tenth of a mL of this slurry was added to 9.9 mL of sterile buffer. After thorough mixing, this suspension was further diluted by successive 1/100 and 1/10 dilutions. One-tenth of a mL of this final solution was plated onto Plate Count agar. After incubation 145 colonies were present. How many colony-forming units were present in the total 10 gram sample of hamburger? Devise a serial dilution scheme to prepare a 10-5 dilution on a plate using the least number of sterile water dilution tubes. Devise a serial dilution scheme to prepare 1/10, 1/30 and 1/90 dilutions of a disinfectant.
