Amy is doing a science experiment on how a certain bacterium reacts to an antibiotic. She has 3 dishes of identical bacterium samples with 11 bacteria in each dish. She gives an antibiotic to all of the bacteria in one dish. All of the treated bacteria died, and the bacteria in the other two dishes survived. Identify the sample size in the situation above.

A biologist has placed three strains of bacteria (denoted I, II, and III) in a test tube, where they will feed on three different food sources (A, B, and C). Suppose that 400 units of food A, 280 units of B, and 480 units of C are placed in the test tube each day, and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in the table. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food?

Suppose you have a mix of two bacteria in a culture, bacteria “A” and bacteria “B”. You inoculate a sample containing equal numbers of these two bacteria types using a streak isolation technique onto a plate. What are your expected results? Include a drawing.

Sally Monella found 344 bacterial colonies on one of her plates. She had prepared this plate after a serial dilution of a culture of Yersinia pestis. She had pipetted 1 ml sample of diluted Yersinia pestis from a tube with the overall dilution factor of 10^6 into a plate and covered it with agar. She used this plate to calculate the concentration in cells/ml of a bacterial culture. a) How many organisms were in the original culture? b) Were her results valid? Why or why not?
