If 1500 microliters of bacterial culture was spread on this plate, what was the concentration of bacteria in the growth, in CFU/ml? Picture of plate with 6 colonies.

What is confluent growth? When counting plaques, why is it important to have confluent bacterial growth on the agar plate? If there were no plaques on your plate, offer an explanation.

If a particular experiment were known to have a transformation efficiency of 3 x 10^3 bacteria/µg of DNA, how many transformant colonies would be expected to grow on the LB/amp/ara plate? You can assume that the concentration of DNA and fraction of cells spread on the LB agar are the same as that of the pGLO laboratory.
