If you’re referencing the second figure that was the plaque assay used for HTL calculation made from the spot test used to determine which concentrations to plate. The serial dilution in the title refers to the fact that the samples plated on the spot test and the subsequently plated onto the plate in the photo were made from serial dilutions.
I think it would definitely vary based on the bacteria but I would say for the most part they evolved to be pretty durable unless certain mechanisms are exploited from the inside to lyse it.
Hi Kyle! Why did you do a serial dilution for your agar plate?

Hey Kyle, How fragile would you say bacterial cell walls are?
