The nutrient broth is a basic media used for growing a broad variety of microorganisms in the laboratory. The nutrient broth consists mainly of 1.5g * L ^ - 1 extract, 3g * L ^ - 1 yeast extract and 5g * L ^ - 1 sodium chloride dissolved in distilled water. The nutrient agar is prepared by adding the agar at the desired amount into nutrient broth. Answer the following questions. marks)
a) How would you prepare a 500 ml nutrient broth?
b) How would you prepare 2% (w / v) nutrient agar for 1L?
c) How would you prepare a 100 ml nutrient broth supplemented with 100mu * g / m * l ampicillin antibiotic? The stock concentration for ampicillin solution is 100mg / m * l .
Create a bar graph to demonstrate the zones of inhibition for each antibiotic. Use the data table from the average. Make sure all elements that make up a good bar graph are included.
A vial of Doxorubicin reads 0•5g per vial. Instructions say to reconstitute each 12mg with 2•5ml of NS. How many ml of NS will be needed to reconstitute the vial of the recommended concentration?

(I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution.
