A serial 10-fold (or 1/10) dilution of a bacterial culture is prepared. 1.0ml is plated from tube #5 into a petri dish and gives rise to 120 distinct colonies. 1.0ml is plated from tube #7 and gives rise to 15 distinct colonies. What is the concentration of bacteria in the original sample? Can you explain the differences between the number calculated from these tubes?

You have decided to determine how many microbes are living onthe lettuce in the salad bar at your favorite restaurant. You place5 grams of lettuce and 495 ml of water in a blender and blend themixture. This is sample A. You next make a 1/5 dilution of sampleA. This becomes sample B. You then transfer 1 ml of this dilution(sample B) into another that contains 99 ml of water. This issample C. Next you transfer 100 ul from sample C onto a TY plate.When you examine the plate after 48 hours, you find 168 coloniesgrowing. (assume 1 gram = 1ml)

A. What was the bacterial count per mL in sample a

B. Would you expect to find more colonies growing on a platethat was inoculated from sample B or C?

C. How many microbes are living on 1 gram of lettuce.

Suppose you are studying a bacterial species that formspunctiform, small, white colonies. After 24 h of incubation, youanalyzed cells from a colony (A) using the Gram staining technique.This colony produced purple rods. The culture was further incubatedfor an additional 48 h, and Gram staining on cells from the colony(A) was performed again. This time the cell appeared as red rods.Assuming that all culturing and staining techniques were doneproperly, provide one possible explanation to account fordifferences in staining results.
