A10-7 is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. from the dilution, *0.1 ml* of solution is plated on solid media, and 66 colonies of bacteria grow on the plate. assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single ml of the original culture?

CFU/mL

Explanation:

Given -

a) Number of colonies of bacteria is equal to

b) Total volume of the solution is equal to mL

c) Dilution factor is equal to

As we know that

CFU/mL

Where N is the number of bacterial colonies, DF is the dilution factor and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

CFU/mL

answer: a. a gene that causes a specific trait.

the answer is b. glad to .
