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.

How is mass wasting different from other forms of erosion?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Examples of mass wasting are slides, falls, creeps, and flows.  Mass wasting processes are easily observable because they happen fast and suddenly and the changes are vividly evident in very short bit of time.   However, other methods of erosion such as mechanical and physical weathering occur very slowly and it would take many years for the changes associated wth their proceses to be vivid to the naked eye.
