Imagine that during the serial dilutions/spread plate procedure
that your lab partner chose the wrong micropipet to transfer
samples during the dilution. As a result, he/she ended up
transferring 10 µl instead of 100 µl of culture in the last three
steps. Therefore, the 1/1,000, 1/10,000, and 1/100,000 dilutions
were actually much more diluted than expected. (Don’t yell at your
lab partner.) Based on your partner’s mistake a) recalculate the
actual dilutions and b) recalculate the concentration of cells from
your stock culture.

In our experiment we made 10-fold
serial dilutions of a sample. We made both spread plates and pour
plates. These are our final results from last semester.

please help with whatever possible. thank you so much in
advance.
Name One use of serial dilutions is to calculate the concentration of microorganisms. Since it would usually be challenging or even impossible to actually count the number of microorganisms in a sample, the sample is diluted and plated to get a reasonable number of colonies to count (usually between 25 to 250 colonies is the goal). Since each colony on an agar plate theoretically grew from a single microorganism,...
For part 1 of this lab) I collected a soil sample from my campus
Part 2) Tested bacteria initial viability Part 3) DNA extraction
Part 4) DNA quantification by Nanodrop Part 5) Sample sequencing
Part 6) PCR amplification Part 7) Gel electrophoresis Part 8) DNA
sequence data analysis (sent sample to another lab)
Directions for Part 3 DNA extraction are in the attached
