A 10-7 is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is

plated on solid media, and 66 colonies of bacteria grow on the plate. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture?

Answer:

66 * 10^8 CFU/mL

Explanation:

Given -

a) Number of colonies of bacteria is equal to 66

b) Total volume of the solution is equal to 0.1 mL

c) Dilution factor is equal to 10^{-7}

As we know that

CFU/mL = \frac{N * DF}{V}

Where N is the number of bacterial colonies, DF is the dilution factor and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

CFU/mL = \frac{66* 10^7}{0.1} \\= 66*10^8

In phenylketonuria (pku), which amino acid becomes conditionally essential?
avanturin [10]
The answer is Tyrosine. Conditionally essential amino acids is when non essentials amino acid becomes essential.

Name a protein structure
umka21 [38]

Answer:

<em>Hello! Deku here!! ^^</em>

Explanation:

Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule. Proteins are polymers – specifically polypeptides – formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue indicating a repeating unit of a polymer. Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide bond.

The mutation that causes SCD causes what kind of change in the structure of hemoglobin?
Mila [183]

Answer:

A group of blood disorders generally passed on from the parents to the offspring is known as SCD or sickle cell disease. Of the disease, the most common is the SCA or sickle cell anemia. In the disease, the red blood cells comprise an abnormal form of the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin.  

Generally, humans comprise hemoglobin A, A2, and F types. Of the three types, the hemoglobin F dominates till the age of 6 weeks, after which hemoglobin A dominates till the end of life. However, in the persons diagnosed with SCA, at least one of the beta-globin subunits in hemoglobin A gets substituted by a different form known as hemoglobin S. In the disease, a single nucleotide mutation in the beta-globin gene takes place, in this at 6th position, the glutamic acid gets replaced by Valine.
