Plate counging for diluted E. coli used in previous MDA exp[edit]
Objective[edit]
- To confirm the bacterai number in previous Bac MDA experiment
Procedures[edit]
- Prepare the non-antibiotics LB plates
- Plating
- No.1 (1000 cell/uL) -> 1/10 dilution -> 50 uL plating on w/o antibiotics LB agar plates x 2 duplicates
- No.2 ( 100 cell/uL) -> 1/10 dilution -> 50 uL plating on w/o antibiotics LB agar plates x 2 duplicates
- No.3 ( 10 cell/uL) -> 1/10 dilution -> 50 uL plating on w/o antibiotics LB agar plates x 2 duplicates
- Incubate at 37 degree incubator over night.
- Count the plate the next day.
Results[edit]
- Expected number of plate counting
- No.1 1/10 diluted 1000 cell/uL x 50 uL = 5000 cell --- not countable
- No.2 1/10 diluted 100 cell/uL x 50 uL = 500 cell --- not countable
- No.3 1/10 diluted 10 cell/uL x 50 uL = 50 cell --- 53 cells (Replicate 1) and 79 cells (Replicates 2)
- The results showed that OD600 = 1 -> 10^9 CUF/mL of E. coli is a good estimation.
