You dilute your bacteriophage for plating 10^-6. You mix 0.1ml of the bacteriophage dilution with 0.3ml of bacteria and plate wi

th top agar. The next day you count your plaques. You get 46 pfu at this dilution. What is the final concentration (pfu/ml) of the phage stock?

Answer:

46 * 10^7 pfu/ml

Explanation:

Given -

Bacteriophage dilution = 0.1 ml

Volume of bacteria and plate with top agar  = 0.3 ml

Number of plaques = 46 pfu

Dilution (d) = 10^{-6}

Final concentration of phage stock is equal to

= \frac{pfu}{d*v}

Where pfu is the count of plaques

d is the dilution and v is the volume

Substituting the given values, we get -

\frac{46}{10^{-6} * 10^{-1}} \\= 46 * 10^7 pfu/ml

Why is it beneficial to use textiles made from synthetic fibers
mestny [16]
Synthetic fabrics<span> are </span>textiles made<span> from man-</span>made fibers<span> rather than natural </span>fibers. Chemically produced fabrics<span> are </span>made<span> by joining monomers into polymers, through a process called polymerization.

Natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk, and wool, are made from animals or plant based fibers. While synthetic are man made and produced entirely from chemicals to create fabrics. such as polyester, rayon, acrylic, and more. The benefits of using textiles made from synthetic fibers is that it saves the animals and plants that the fibers are based off of.

soil. Swamps, marshes, and other wetland areas help to control flooding because they naturally hold water. Wetland regeneration
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Restoring farmlands to wetlands consists of a lot of pro and cons. Firstly, they should consider that wetlands will greatly filter carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gases. Wetlands restoration would probably affect the lives of the nearby human residents negatively. This is due to the fact that wetlands provides an optimal habitat to wild animals especially dangerous carnivores like alligators. The regeneration project will expand the habitats of animals, and clean the water system but it will remove the nutrients from the soil.
