What should you do if every dilution of your sample results in a plate that is too few to count (tftc)?

1 answer:

5 0

When every dilution of your sample results in a plate that is too few to count we should filter the original sample and use most probable number method .

Probable number method count and determine the number of bacteria in a culture, plate aliquots of the dilutions onto agar with sterile pipettes, spread with glass sticks, incubate at 37°C and count the number of colonies. It is imperative that you utilize your best culture technique.

Not all bacterial cells produce colonies, as some bacteria tend to clump or aggregate, and some are nonviable. For this reason results are reported as colony forming units (CFU)/ml of bacterial culture. Ideally only plates with 25-250 colonies are used.

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that o

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF) from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.
