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:
I'd need the data from the population sizes of the algae, walleye pollock, orca, ocean sunfish and sea turtles. And I'd also need water temperature data, levels of dissolved oxygen.
Explanation:
The jellyfish population may have increased because of an increase in phytoplankton. This leads to an increase in
zooplankton; a decrease in walleye pollock, leading to an increase in zooplankton; or an increase in orcas, leading to a
decrease in sea turtles. Sea turtles, being the main predator for keeping the jellyfish population in check.
Also, if there are more red algae, jellyfish polyps have less place to grow. Without it, the polyps can attach itself on every surface.
