The number of colonies we count on a petri plate enables us to calculate the CFU or colony forming units. CFU is a measure of the concentration of the live, viable bacterial cells capable of reproducing when grown on a petri plate in cells per milliliter (cells/mL).
In microbiology, a colony-forming unit (CFU, cfu or Cfu) is a unit which estimates the number of microbial cells (bacteria, fungi, viruses etc.) in a sample that are viable, able to multiply via binary fission under the controlled conditions.
30 Οκτ 2023 · Step 5: Calculate the CFU. To calculate CFU, use the following formula: CFU/mL = (Number of colonies counted × dilution factor) / volume plated; Make sure to note the dilution factor used and consider any additional factors, such as the volume plated, to accurately calculate the CFU per milliliter.

3 Απρ 2024 · A Colony Forming Unit (CFU) in microbiology and cellular biology refers to a measure of viable cells in a colony derived from a single progenitor cell. In microbiology, CFU is used to determine the number of viable bacterial cells in a sample per mL.
21 Νοε 2011 · The CFU/ml can be calculated using the formula: cfu/ml = (no. of colonies x dilution factor) / volume of culture plate. For example, suppose the plate of the 10^6 dilution yielded a count of 130 colonies. Then, the number of bacteria in 1 ml of the original sample can be calculated as follows:
Therefore, to calculate the CFU/ml in the sample it is necessary to multiply the number of colonies on the plate by 10 (there are ten 0.1 mL units in 1.0 mL) and then by the dilution factor (100) to arrive at the final answer: 24 CFU x 10 x 100 = 24000 or 2.4 x 10 4 CFU/mL.
The unit of measurement is cfu/ml (or colony forming units per milliliter) and relates to the original sample. Calculation of this is a multiple of the counted number of colonies multiplied by the dilution used.
