Answer:

1a. 1:10

1b. 4.6×10¹³

2a. 15generations

2b. 327,680

Explanation:

10 fold serial dilution means 1ml of stock is mixed in 9ml distilled water. This is called as 10⁻¹ solution.

In this way, take 1ml each of every dilution and mix in 9ml distilled water to make 10⁻², 10⁻²-------10⁻⁸ dilutions.

Now, CFU/ml = no. of colonies × dilution factor/ volume of sample plated.
