In an E. coli culture, the concentration is 6.6 x 10^6 cfu/mL. You serially dilute this suspension as follows: 10^-2, then 1/20, and finally 10^-1. If you then plate 0.2 mL of the final dilution, how many CFU would you expect to find following incubation?
Question 4 options:
6.8 x 10^6 x 10^-2 x 1/20 x 10^-1
6.8 x 10^6 x 10^-2 x 5 x 10^-2 x 10^-1 x 0.2
6.8 x 10^-6 x 10^-2 x 1/20 x 10^-1 x 0.2
6.8 x 10^6 x 10^2 x 20 x 10 x 0.2
