You are determining the concentration of your culture, and have counted the following on your hemocytometer as shown in Figure below: (note, blue cells have taken up Trypan blue & thus are dead. Red x's are cells that should not be counted because touching one of 2 sides of square). If your cells were diluted 1:2 before counting, what is the concentration of cells in your original culture?
A culture of S. cerevisea has an overnight OD of 2.3 (1.0 OD is approx 1.0x107 cells/ml) You will be plating 100µl onto agar and want the final count of colonies on the plate to be around 300 colonies. How much of the 2.3 OD culture must you use to get a 500µl subdilution (with sterile water), so that you have diluted enough to get approx 300 colonies per 100ul
If the volume of a Staphylococcus aureus cell is estimated at 0.5 μm3, how many cells could be accommodated, in principle, in 5 mL of saturated culture? (1 mL = 1 cm3). Show your calculations.
You just finished plating your electroporatio products on your YPD-Zeocin plate and you think you did everything perfectly but you come back the folloeing week and have zero colonies. Which of the following could be the reason for the absence of colonies? A) You centrifuged your electroporated cells for 30 sec at 16,000 rpm instead of 4,000 rpm before plating them B) You added sorbitol+YPD to your cells thirty minutes after pulsing your cells C) The Zeocin had not been added to the plates when they were made. D) All of the above E) Both a and b only

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?
N. benthamiana will be infiltrated with a solution containing OD600=0.3 of each experimental Agro containing construct and OD600=0.1 of p19. Calculate the volume of cultures (V construct; V p19) needed according to the formulas: V construct = V final × 0.3/OD600; V p19 = V final × 0.1/OD600. One mL of infiltrate is often enough to complete a small experiment. How to plan your final volume accordingly?
