You have a sample that is possibly contaminated by bacteria

You have a sample that is possibly contaminated by bacteria, for example, E Coli . Propose a design to detect the amount of the bacteria in the sample . Use schematics to illustrate your designs. Describe the biolog ical element and transducing mecha

Solution

To calculate the amount of bacteria in the sample we can design a simple experiment that is known as Serial Dilution.. Where we can make number of certain no of dilution like 10^-1, 10^-2 etc and can plate it on the plate onto an agar plate. The numbers of bacteria colonies that grow on each plate are counted. By working backwards using multiplication with the \"dilution factor\" (the number of times that you have diluted the bacteria sample with the diluent solution), you will be able to make a determination of the numbers of bacteria in your original sample.
