What is mean by cfu?
It is the concentration of bacteria in any solution.CFU stands for Colony Forming Units. Colony forming unit is a form of measuring bacteria grown on a streak plate.
What does the initials CFU stand for?
It means a lot of things. Colony Forming Unit, CFU is also the Kerkyra, Greece airport code, Commercial Farmers Union, Coliform Forming Units, and Contract Follow Up.
What are the Stages of RBC formation?
Stem Cell-Burst forming unit-Colony Forming Unit:erythropoeitin-progenitor cell-reticulocyte-erythrocyte
What is 1000 cfu in water colony testing?
1000 colony forming unit/ml in water...500 cfu/ml is considered standard for acceptable drinking water
Colony forming unit is the number of cells in?
A micro-organism propagule (spore or cell) from which a colony has grown. For purposes of analysis, one cfu represents one viable organism
In regards to bacterial growth define colony?
Each colony is a mass of bacterial clones, usually founded by one individual cell. So each colony represents one original microbe.
Does a colony count really give a total count of microorganisms per unit sample of the original material?
Yes, each colony that forms on the plate was the result of a single microorganism. If you can know the quantity of the unit sample, you can know the number of microorganisms that were in that sample by counting the colonies.
What advantage does the streak plate method have over the pour plate method?
A disadvantage of the streak plate technique could be colony isolation problems. If the streaking technique is not done properly or if there is too much of an organism present on the inoculating loop then the cells can cluster and form what looks like one colony but it can actually be a couple colonies (made from a couple cells). This can cause an inaccurate colony forming unit count.
What kind of political unit was cartage?
colony
Does one colony normally represent only one organism?
Not really. It is likely that some microorganisms stick with each other, and is simply not separable by simple streaking. Sometimes the organisms exist in a bundle together, and all of these lead to the growth of one colony. Hence, microbiologist usually use the term "Colony Forming Unit" (CFU) to represent the origin of a colony, be it only one organism, or more than one.
Compute 98N in force?
N stands for newton, the unit of force - this already is a force, no need to convert anything.
What kind political unit was Carthage?
Colony is the political unit. This was in Carthage.
