Answer:

b

Explanation:

The correct answer would be 6.4 x 10^6 cells/ul.

For 1 x 10-6 dilution, the plating factor is 10^6. To find the number of bacteria in the original sample, the plating factor is multiplied by the colony count per ul.

<em>Number of viable bacteria = plating factor x colony count/ul</em>

Since 10 ul gives 64 colonies.  1 ul will give:

         64/10 = 6.4 colonies.

Therefore, the viable bacteria in the original sample = 6.4 x 10^6 cells/ul

The correct option is b.
