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 number of bacterial cells in a culture broth is to be determined by a culture technique. Serial dilutions were performed and a 0.1 mL aliquot from each dilution was spread onto Plate Count Agar (PCA). The number of bacterial colony forming units (CFU) after overnight incubation are shown as listed in the table below. What is the number of colony forming units per mL of the culture broth? Choose only the most appropriate plate for your calculation. Give your answer as the number only (do not add text for the units). You may use scientific notation with the format 1.12e+6 (that is, 1.12 x 106 cfu/mL). (Note: Canvas will then display your answer a whole number.)

Explain why culture based biochemical and genetic testing would not be the ideal method to identify the microbe.
What would the final concentration of a bacteria culture be if 2.7 x 106 cells/ml were diluted 8.2 x 10-2? What would the initial concentration of a bacteria culture be if the final concentration was 3.7 x 102 cells/ml and the total dilution was 4.6 x 10-4?
You and a partner conduct the acid-fast staining using the same two bacteria. You know that there will be an acid-fast bacteria present. Your slide shows acid-fast and non-acid fast bacteria. Your partners show both bacteria are non-acid fast. Your partner doesn’t understand why. What errors do you think occurred? Please state 2 and explain why these errors would cause this result.

An inoculum of 106 bacterial cells was introduced into a flask of culture medium and growth monitored. No change was seen for 18 minutes (the lag phase), then growth occurred rapidly. After a further 87 minutes, the population had increased to 5.08 × 107 cells. What is the doubling time of the culture? Show your solution. (The 87-minute period is after the lag phase.)
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.
