How did they measure total cells? (genetics of bacteria)

samedi 2 novembre 2013

1. About how many cells were plated to count His+ revertant colonies?

How was total cell number determined?
















I know that the mutation freq was out of 10^7 survivors. So they had to measure the total cell number and come up with 10^7 survivors? But I'm not sure how they got this exact number of 10^7 survivors?



Then to measure His+ revertants I would think they need to plate the same concentration of cells as they did to measure the total cell count?


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data







2. Relevant equations







3. The attempt at a solution
