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
in lakes or wetland such as marshes or swamps
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Sandstone and basalt can be changed by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks. They <span>are </span>formed<span> when </span>rocks<span> are close to some molten magma, and so get heated up. Hope this answers the question.</span>
