- 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?arrow_forwardFive different strains of E. coli (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) were streaked onto a series of tester plates. After incubating the streaked plates for an appropriate amount of time, they were scored for growth (+) or no growth (-) of the various strains on each respective plate. MM denotes minimal medium, CM denotes complete medium and letters A, B and C denote the supplements added to minimal medium. Assume supplements A, B and C construct the complete bjochemical pathway.

The tubes are randomly labelled A, B, C. 2 mL of each solution were transferred to a different microcentrifuge tube, 20 ul of blood were then added to each tube, and they were mixed well by inverting the tube for multiple times. They were observed and it was determined whether the solution in each tube was hypotonic (Yes or No) relative to the blood cells. In addition, the solutions were diluted with water to help you determine which solution is which sucrose concentration. What sucrose concentration corresponds with each tube? Tube Hypotonic (Yes/No) Hypotonic after 1:1 dilution with water (Yes/No) Most likely Sucrose concentration (mM) A No Yes B Yes Yes C No Noarrow_forward
- A nine-laboratory cooperative study was performed to evaluate quality control for susceptibility tests with 30-µg netilmicin disks [6]. Each laboratory tested three standard control strains on a different lot of Mueller-Hinton agar, with 150 tests performed per laboratory. For protocol control, each laboratory also performed 15 additional tests on eachof the control strains using the same lot of Mueller-Hinton agar across laboratories. The mean zone diameters for each of the nine laboratories are given in Table 6.11. *6.20 Provide a point and interval estimate (95% CI) for the interlaboratory standard deviation of mean zone diameters for each type of control strain, assuming each laboratory uses different media to perform the susceptibility tests. *6.21 Answer Problem 6.20 assuming each laboratory uses a common medium to perform the susceptibility tests. 6.22 Are there any advantages to using a common medium versus using different media for performing the susceptibility tests with…arrow_forwardWhat does BCR ABL positive mean?arrow_forwardOne laboratory method to detect for COVID-19 infection is via real time RT-PCR.
