I want to test my strains for drought tolerance and have grown my isolates for 18hrs in nutrient broth. on a shaker. How do i adjus the bacteria population to 2x10 to power 5 population to use as inoculum for culture in the test medium?
By using Serial dilution, you can adjust your desired quantity.
Check your initial population on a colony counter. That is your starting point. Later turn to serial dilution to arrive at desired population.
Good luck
