You are a field researcher for the CDC. You and your labpartner have been sent to an area to quantitatively analyze a setof samples believed to contain pathological bacterialcontaminants.
On a separate sheet of paper, write (NEATLY) or type theprocedure you used to quantitatively analyze the given bacterialsuspension. Include steps in the procedure and materials used(5.5 pts). Be organized, logical, and neat indocumentation of this information.
Write your results. Show your work. No Work No Credit(1.5 pts).
Total Count = _________
Viable Count = _______
% Viability = _______
The amount of 250 CFU per 0.01 ml is considered harmfulto humans and other animals. If your sample contains close to ormore than an excessive amount of bacterial contaminant, what can bedone to decrease the numbers of bacteria without harming humans oranimals (3pts). How would youknow if your method of decreasing the numbers of this potentiallyharmful bacteria? * Hint* What needs to decrease? Total Count orViable Count? Why?
