Indicate whether you think that the number of cfu/ ml calculated would be too high or too low if you make this mistake.
1.You intend to add 9ml of broth (water) to each tube and 1 ml of culture. Instead, you add 5 ml of broth to each tube and 5 ml of culture to the first tube. Then, you make a serial dilution of 1 ml into and from each tube as described.
2. You prepare 9 ml of broth (water) in each tube. You add 1ml of culture of every tube.
3.You add 9 ml of broth (water) to each tube. You add 1 ml of culture to the first tube and mix. You get distracted, and transfer 1ml of the dilutant (mixture of culture and broth) to the third tube instead of the second. You perform the rest of the series as described.
Below is a scenario requiring the use of laboratory equipment and instruments.
A watery fecal sample is tested for the presence of Bacillus cereus and Vibrio cholerae. The sample is stored in a screw capped tube. You are tasked to grow the Bacillus in a solid medium while Vibrio in a liquid medium.
Choices: A. Incubator, B Hanging Drop Slide , C.Petri Dish, D. Drying Oven, E. Bunsen Burner, F. Inoculating NeedlE , G. Volumetric Pipette, H. Screw-capped Tubes, I. Hot plate, J. Centrifuge, K. Inoculating Loop, L. Microscope, M. Beaker, N. Biosafety Cabinet
1. What could be used to determine if there are more bacteria in the sample aside from Bacillus and Vibrio?
2. What should you use if you want to observe the natural motility of Bacillus under a Brightfield microscope?
3. Where should you perform the task of sterilization and inoculation? 4.What should be used to transfer the sample to the broth?
5. What could be used to separate the solid from the liquid portion of the…
