You are given a sample of bacteria at a concentration of 3 x 106 CFU/mL. After mixing the sample , you transfer 1 mL into 99 mL of fresh media and label this Tube 1. You mix the contents of Tube 1 and transfer 1 mL into 9 mL of fresh media and label this Tube 2. Based on this dilution scheme, the estimated CFU/mL of bacteria in Tube 2 should be:
