Dilution (D) =
(volume transferred/total vol) x previous D

31
Q

indicates how many times a sample has been diluted; reciprocal of dilution

A

Dilution Factor (DF):

32
Q

is a step-wise series of dilutions, where the dilution factor stays the same for each step

A

serial dilution

33
Q

num of colonies on plate x reciprocal of dilution of sample =

A

num of bacteria /ml

34
Q

if 32 colonies are on plate of 1/10,000 dilution, then the count is?

A

bacteria:
fungi:

A

bacteria: 25-250 per plate
fungi: 10-150 per plate

36
Q

if one dilution give valid counts, what CFU/ml will be used?

A

CFU/ml = (ave. num of colonies x DF) / volume plated

37
Q

if two dilutions give valid counts, what CFU/ml will be used?
