Performing a bacterial isolation by streaking, using sterile (aseptic) technique, consider the expected outcome on the streak plate after the following: Two organisms were in the original sample. Organism G was present at twice the abundance of Organism H (so 2/3 of the original sample). The streak plate was generated using 4 areas (quadrants)- A, B, C & D. Area A was inoculated with a loop containìng 3 mìllion organisms from the original culture, which was mixed very well and considered to be homogeneous. Areas B, C & D were streaked from the previous area with a sterilized loop, with each streak transferring 2% of the organisms from the previous area (assume the relative abundance of the two organisms was maintained). What is the expected outcome in Area on this streak plate? 2d

The stool samples submitted by the two friends were enumerated following enrichment. The technician prepared serial dilutions. A volume of 1 mL of stool was mixed with 1 mL of diluent. From this dilution, they then took 1 mL and added it into 1 mL of diluent. The operation was repeated 5 more times. After finishing the serial dilution, 100 μ�L has been spread on different TSA plates. Following 24h incubation, the technician counted 23 colonies at the dilution 4. What is the bacterial concentration in the enriched culture? [1 mark]
How would you produce a 10^-1 dilution if a 3 mL bacterial sample using the entire 3 mL volume? suppose your professor handed you a test tube with 2.0 mL of an E. coli broth culture in it and told you to make a 10^-1 dilution of the entire culture. Explain how you would do this. Show your calculations.
The student advises using the same selection procedures and inoculating a 5 mL overnight culture with the transformed cells instead of searching for transformed coli on LB agar plates in order to save time. Why isn't this a wise decision?
You were instructed to add 1.0ml out of 4.0ml of an undiluted sample to 99ml of sterile diligent you add the entire 4.0ml to 99 ml. a) what was your intended dilution factor? b) what was your actual dilution factor?
You have a spread plate made with 200ul of a 10^-2 dilution. You counted 112 colonies on the plate. How many CFU/ml are in the original stock culture? Write tour answer in correct scientific notation.
A 0.00001 dilution is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is plated on solid media, and 223 colonies of bacteria grow on the petri dish. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using exponential notation. Since only 0.1 mL is put on the plate, this counts as an extra dilution!!! Any time less than 1 mL is transfered, a dilution is being performed. Any time more than 1 mL is transfered, a concentration is being performed.
Hi, I am working on qPCR quantification for specific bacteria. However, when the CT value achieve greater than 30, it always shown high CT value differences in my duplication no matter I repeat the same set of experiment for those samples with low quality. My question is, what makes this happening? The other question is, how many CT value differences is acceptable for duplication?
Explain, in your own words, why it is important to perform serial dilution when trying to quantify bacterial organisms.
