Illustrate the dilution series used and label the final dilution of each dilution.
1. A bacterial culture was grown for 12 hours. At 4-hour interval, the culture was sampled to determine
the population of the culture, by transferring 25 ml of the suspension to 225ml 0.90% NaCl. Three
consectutive dilutions were further made by using 1ml aliquot in 9ml of 0.90% NaCI. One ml from each
dilution was plated in each of duplicate plates. The following table shows the results of the plating
methods.
