Question

You did a serial dilution experiment to determine the CFU/table of the Webbers' probiotics. Given the ingredient list shown, how many colonies would you expect to see on a plate if you plated 0.1 mL from the 10-6 dilution tube, and incubated aerobically at 37 ⁰C for several days?

Each capsule contains: 5 billion* active cells of the following specially-cultured strains of probiotics: 1.5 billion cfu* 1.25 billion cfu* Lactobacillus casei (HA-108) (whole cell). Lactobacillus rhamnosus (HA-111) (whole cell). Lactobacillus acidophilus (HA-122) (whole cell). Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum (HA-135) (whole cell). .0.75 billion cfut ******* .30%. .25%. 15%. 15%. Bifidobacterium breve (HA-129) (whole cell)... 0.75 billion cfut ..0.75 billion cfu* 15%. *Guaranteed minimum 5 billion active cells per capsule at expiry date. Guaranteed minimum 10 billion active cells per capsule at manufacture date. *cfu: colony forming units Non-medicinal ingredients: Potato starch, vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum, purified water), vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant), silica, ascorbic acid, skim milk, trypticase-soy broth, sucrose. Recommended purpose: Provides living microorganisms that temporarily modify gut flora. Source of probiotics. Recommended dosage (adults): 1 capsule 3 times daily, preferably with meals, or as directed by a physician. Take at least 2-3 hours before or after antibiotics. Caution: Discontinue use and consult a physician if symptoms of digestive upset (e.g., diarrhea) occur, worsen or persist beyond 3 days. Do not use if you are experiencing nausea, fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea or severe abdominal pain. Do not use if you have an immune-compromised condition (e.g., AIDS, lymphoma, patients undergoing long-term corticosteroid treatment). Keep out of reach of children. For product freshness protect from heat and humidity. No refrigeration required but can prolong potency of product.
