One g of fecal matter was suspended in 99 ml saline solution (tube 1). After mixing gently but thoroughly, one ml from tube 1 wa

s removed and added to tube with 99 ml saline solution (tube 2). One ml suspension from tube 2 was played in MacConkey agar. After 24 h incubation, 30 red colonies and 50 colorless colonies were counted. Determine cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample. Your answer must be in scientific notation such as 1.0 x 10^2. Round your answer to the nearest 10th. For example, your answer is 1.675 x 10^5 cfu/g, type 1.7 x 10^5 cfu/g. Put a space before and after the x. The x is lower case.

Answer: the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample is C = 3.0 × 10^3

Explanation:

We know that; Gram negative bacteria looks  pale reddish in color under a light microscope from Gram staining.

therefore

There are 30 red bacterial colonies counted.

1 mL of from tube 1 was removed and added to tube with 99 mL saline (tube 2) dilution is 1/100.

transferred volume  into the plate is 1 mL.

Now, we have to determine the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample

Formula to calculate CFU/g bacteria in fecal sample is expressed as;

C = n/(s×d )

where C is concentration (CFU/g) , n is number of colonies , s is volume transferred to plate , d is dilution factor.

so we substitute

C = 30 / ((1/100) × 1)

C = 30 / 0.01

C = 3000

C = 3.0 × 10^3

THERFERE, the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample is C = 3.0 × 10^3

2. Which choice is an example of pollution?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: Number 2, aka Solid wastes on land.

Explanation: Bacteria in soil is a natural thing, so it's not polluting the earth. Oxygen in the atmosphere is letting us live, meaning it's not polluting the earth. Fish in rivers is also another natural thing, leaving us with solid wastes on land.

HURRY!! How does topsoil keep pollution out of our aquifers?
mars1129 [50]

Answer: it acts as a water filter as groundwater moves through it

Explanation:

Soil is a medium in which life is sustained through plant growth, the recycling of matter and nutrients, and the purification and cycling of water. Soil can act as a sponge to purify water, and thus plays a role in water quality.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Options are not provided in the question. The complete question is as following:

A researcher has performed a BLASTp search for a protein of interest. He identifies a globular protein that shares 30 percent of its amino acid sequence and positioning with his target protein. What can he conclude about the shape of his protein of interest?

a) It is also a globular protein.

b) It is a fibrous protein.

c) It has only a primary structure.

d) It demonstrates only pleated sheets as part of its structure.  

e) The researcher can conclude nothing about his protein of interest.

Answer:

a) It is also a globular protein.

Explanation:

Globular proteins are one of the common form of protein  (the other are fibrous, disordered, and membrane proteins) having spherical shape.

Protein-protein BLAST (blastp), This software returns the most related sequences of protein from the protein database defined by the user, provided a protein query.

So, the blastp has searched for globular protein.

Hence, the correct option is a.
