Using a 10-4 sample you created from a serial dilution, you are asked to perform a Standard Plate Count. After inoculating a nutrient agar and incubating at 30oC, you find that the 10-4 plate has 178cfus. How could you directly calculate the # of E. coli bacteria from the original sample prior to the serial dilution. Explain or show how you would get this count. You must tell me the equation you would use and then show me how your would calculate the cell count using that equation. Please include the correct answer.
