N. benthamiana will be infiltrated with a solution containing OD600=0.3 of each experimental Agro containing construct and OD600=0.1 of p19. Calculate the volume of cultures (V construct; V p19) needed according to the formulas: V construct = V final × 0.3/OD600; V p19 = V final × 0.1/OD600. One mL of infiltrate is often enough to complete a small experiment. How to plan your final volume accordingly?
You are tasked with cultivating the following microorganisms:A recombinant strain of E. coliA wild strain of Streptomyces clavuligerus• Propose a culture medium for each (choose a complex medium for one organism and a synthetic medium for the other)As a complement of nutrients, they must be indicated on the following scale: +++ : above 5 g/L++ : from 1 to 5 g/L+ : below 1 g/L• Describe the procedure for preparing and sterilizing the components of the culture media for a volume of 5.0 L• Make a bench process selection scheme, up to the step of selecting a benchtop reactor 5 L.
A culture is incubated for 10 hours. 1 hours after inoculation it reached the exponential growth phase. At this time point the cell density was 1x10^4 cells/ml. 5 hours after inoculation (still during the exponential growth phase) the cell density was 1x10^7 cells. Calculate K and g(t). The growth constant (k) is minute. (round to 3 decimal points) The generation time (gt) is minutes. (round to whole number)
4) You are interested in the total bacterial load of the bat guano. In order to determine this, you go back to your original broth culture and prepare a dilution series. You then spread 100 ml of each dilution onto 3 separate plates. You obtain the following results: Plate 1, 10 -1 dilution: 362 colonies Plate 2, 10 -3 dilution: 76 colonies Plate 3, 10 -5 dilution: 8 colonies. Based on your results, calculate the CFUs/ml in your original broth culture. show your work

The colony forming units (CFU)/ml in sauerkraut brine are given for different types of bacteria except for leuconostoc (shaded column). To obtain the Leuconostoc counts for different days, 40 microlitre of sauerkraut brine was 10-fold diluted and the CFU was determined by plating different dilutions on agar plates. For Day 0 56 CFU were counted in 10-1 dilution, Day 1 81 CFU were counted in 10-3 dilution, Day 2 86 CFU were counted in 10-3 dilution Day 5 78 CFU were counted in 10-5 dilution Calculate the CFU/ml of leuconostoc in the brine for the 4 different days. Show your calculation
Assuming that serial dilution was carried out in a laboratory experiment in 6 tubes with 9 ml of saline in each tube and 0.1ml of the stock solution was used for initial dilution, pour plate method of inoculation was performed after the dilution process using 1ml of the culture from the samples from the test tubes. It was found out that on the 6th Petri dish after incubation, there was a total of 16 individual colonies counted. Compute the total number of microorganisms present in tube one, assuming that there was no human error in the transferring proces.
