You created a serial dilution of 10-1 to 10-6 of a sample containing phages. Assume that you properly diluted your samples so that you had 10 times fewer phages in each test tube before adding your bacterial growth and then pouring over your agar for incubation. What quantitative difference would expect in phage plaque formation after bacterial growth following incubation?

    For the plaque assay, your T4 bacteriophage titer is 7.8x108 pfu/mL. You do six 1:10 dilutions of the virus, putting 10µL of each dilution in a tube of top agar with 100µL of E. coli. After pouring the contents of the top agar onto an LA plate, you incubate overnight. How many plaques would you expect to see on the final plate?

    1. Vibrio bacteria are abundant in ocean and aquatic environments. Suppose you wish to isolate Vibrio- specific bacteriophages from seawater. You enrich your sample by spiking the seawater with growth medium and Vibrio fischer. You then isolate your phage and plate it on lawns of bacterial growth to enumerate how many PFUs/mL are in your sample. a. You set up a series of 10-fold phage dilutions out to a TDF of 10', and you plate each of those dilutions mixed...

Given: One ml of the original bacterial culture (tube 0) was added to experiment tube 1, containing 9 ml of media. 7 more experiment tubes were serially diluted in order, the same way, for a total of 8. Each originally contained 9 ml of media, and each received 1 ml from the tube number preceeding it. Two drops from tube #8 were...

    You repeat the viral plaque assay adding 10 microliters of viral solution to 990 microliters of LB. You perform this serial dilution five times. You add 10 microliters from each dilution to the corresponding host bacteria molten top agar mixture which is then spread onto an LB agar plate. The next day you count 39 plaques on the fourth plate. Why is it that on plate 3 the number of plaques will be 39 x 10^2 and on plate 5...

    You are given a 1 gram soil sample of unknown bacterial load. After doing 10-fold serial dilutions of the soil in sterile water, 100 uL volumes are taken from each dilution for preparation of pour plates. Following incubation, each half of the 10-8 plate has 46 colonies. a) What was the dilution factor? b) How many bacteria were present in the soil?

    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,...

Thankyou. 1) Four grams of soil are added to 36 ml sterile water and mixed well. 0.1 ml of this mix was added to 9.9 ml sterile water. This was diluted by 4 successive 1/10 dilutions. 1.0 ml from the last dilution was used to prepare a pour plate. After incubation 289 colonies were counted. Calculate the # CFU/g soil. 2) A 0.1 ml aliquot of a...
