For an estimation of microbial population experiment, you obtained the following results: A. 1000X dilution with 0.1 mL sample volume - 470 colonies B. 10000X dilution with 0.1 mL sample volume - 250 colonies C. 100000X dilution with 0.1 mL sample volume - 100 colonies D. 1000000X dilution with 0.1 mL sample volume - 12 colonies For each set of results, determine if the samples are countable plates, and for only the countable plates, calculate the CFU/mL for those plates. For plates that are not countable, please state that and do not perform the calculation (please note that calculating the CFU/mL for a plate that is not countable will be marked as incorrect).

Question
For an estimation of microbial population
experiment, you obtained the following
results:
A. 1000X dilution with 0.1 mL sample
volume - 470 colonies
B. 10000X dilution with 0.1 mL sample
volume - 250 colonies
C. 100000X dilution with 0.1 mL sample
volume - 100 colonies
D. 1000000X dilution with 0.1 mL sample
volume 12 colonies
For each set of results, determine if the
samples are countable plates, and for only
the countable plates, calculate the
CFU/mL for those plates. For plates that
are not countable, please state that and
do not perform the calculation (please
note that calculating the CFU/mL for a
plate that is not countable will be marked
as incorrect).
