A grad student has a culture of E. coli with a total volume of 600 mL, and OD reading at 550 nm of 1.7. He makes serial dilutions of the culture, starting with a transfer of 1 mL culture into 9 mL tryptone broth. Next, he transfers 0.1 mL of this dilution into 0.9 mL tryptone broth, and repeats this two more times to make a total of 4 serial dilutions. He then pipets 200 uL from the fourth dilution on an agar plate, spreads it over the surface, and puts the plate in an incubator to grow overnight. The next day, he counts 152 cfus (colony forming units) on the plate.
How many viable cells are present in the 600 mL starting culture?
Answer is 4,560,000,000 but need to show work.
