What method of bacterial measurement does this graph represent? Is it considered direct, or indirect? What phase of the growth curve can NOT be measured using this method?
A culture of E. coli has a concentration of 5 x 108cells/mL. How many times do you have todilute the culture so that when you spread 0.1mL on an agar plate you will have 250 colonies?Hint: you need to find dtotal and then convert it into a DF.
A new chemical disinfectant was tested for activity against Staphylococcus growth. The bacteria were incubated in bacterial growth medium + disinfectant for 24 hours, then one loopful of the mixture was transferred to fresh medium without the disinfectant (subculturing) and incubating the subculture. The initial culture and subcultures were evaluated for growth after incubation. (+ = growth; - = no growth) Dilution Initial Subculture 1:2 - - 1:4 - - 1:8 - + 1:16 + + 1:32 + +   Based on these results, which of the following statements is true regarding the effectiveness of this disinfectant against this bacterium?     The disinfectant is bacteriostatic at 1:4 dilution.     The disinfectant is bacteriostatic at 1:2 dilution.     The disinfectant is NOT bacteriostatic at any of the dilutions tested.     The disinfectant is bacteriostatic at 1:8 dilution.     The disinfectant is bacteriostatic at 1:16 dilution.
