There is no way to convert CFU to MPN and vice versa. CFU's are the Colony Forming Units in a given sample volume as in, these ARE the colony forming units in 100mLs of a sample. CFU's are definitive. MPN's are the Most Probable Number of cfu's in a given sample volume as in, there are PROBABLY this many cfu's in 100 mLs of a sample. MPN is an estimate of probability.
