You need to dilute your overnight bacterial culture 1/20. If you want just 1 ml (1000 μLs) of that dilution, how would you make it? (How much bacteria would you transfer and how much diluent would you have in your tube?)
Added by Brian S.
Step 1
Given that we need to dilute the bacterial culture 1/20 and we want a final volume of 1000 μL, we can calculate the volume of bacterial culture needed as follows: Volume of bacterial culture = Final volume / Dilution factor Volume of bacterial culture = 1000 μL / Show more…

You want to make 1/100 dilution of an overnight culture in a total volume of 40 ml, What volume will you take from your overnight culture? 0.4 mL 4 mL 40 mL 400 mL

You have 5 ml of an overnight culture (2x10^8 cells per ml). How would you prepare a series of 1 or 10 ml dilutions (maximum dilution 1:100) to obtain a final 200 ml culture at 1x10^3 cells/ml? Provide work for each step.

Suppose that the concentration of a bacteria sample is $100,000$ bacteria per milliliter. If the concentration doubles every 2 hours, how long will it take for the concentration to reach $350,000$ bacteria per milliliter?
