Answer: CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL
Explanation:
Microorganisms are very small and difficult to count directly. Instead, a laboratory technique is used to count CFUs (Colony Formation Units). This involves making dilutions of a microbial suspension and spreading it on thin layers of agar containing nutrients for growth in Petri dishes also called agar plates. After incubation under ideal conditions, some plates are completely covered with microbial growth; some have little or no growth; and some are covered with individual isolated "spots", which are microbial colonies. Since a colony may consist of a single organism or a group of microbes, the dots represent a CFU.
To calculate the viable count of the stock culture, you have to count the number of colonies, multiply by the dilution and the result will be the plate count in CFU.
So, the equation is:
CFU/mL = Number of colonies / (Volume trasferred to plate x dilution blank)
100 microliters = 0.1 mililiter
1/10 = 0.1 (dilution factor)
Replacing the information from the question:
CFU/mL = 142 / (0.1 mL x 0.1)
CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL
Answer: If all organisms developed from a common ancestor by gradual changes, we would expect there to be organisms that have characteristics intermediate between two categories and cannot be easily classified as either.
Explanation:
Answer:
The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is called diffusion
In osmosis, water always moves towards the hypertonic
solution with the greater Solute concentration.
Explanation:
The automatic nervous system is responsible for the internal organs in the human's body and regulation of its functions:<span> the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal.
Unlike </span>the somatic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system <span>consists of a sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.</span>
