Tube A is a 5 mL broth culture of bacteria. An aliquot of 0.1 mLof this broth is pipetted from this tube into a sterile broth, tubeB, with a volume of 9.9 mL. Next, a 0.1 mL aliquot from tube B ispipetted into sterile broth, tube C, with a volume of 9.9 mL.Subsequently, a 0.1 mL aliquot is pipetted from tube C into asterile broth tube D, with a volume of 9.9 mL. Finally, a 0.1 mLaliquot from tube C is dispensed onto a plate and after incubation125 colonies grow while a 0.1 mL aliquot from tube D is dispensedonto a plate and after incubation 15 colonies grow. Using thisinformation how may cells TOTAL are in tube A?
