How we calculate colonies in membrane filteration experiment

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ To calculate colonies in a membrane filtration experiment, count the number of colonies on the filter, and then calculate the number of colonies per volume of sample filtered. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Count the colonies: After incubation, count the number of colonies that have grown on the membrane filter. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Calculate the concentration: Use the formula $ ext{Number of colonies} imes \frac{1}{ ext{Volume of sample filtered (in mL)}} $ to calculate the concentration of colonies per mL of the original sample. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Colony Forming Units (CFU) ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ CFU is a measure used to estimate the number of viable bacteria or fungal cells in a sample. In membrane filtration, colonies are counted to determine the CFU per volume of the original sample. ⚹◊- How can we use the formula CFU/mL = (number of colonies counted)/(volume plated x dilution factor) to calculate colonies in membrane filtration experiments?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
