Answer:

2700000 CFU/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilution is of 1:10000 so if 27 colonies were observed :

27 * 10000 = 270000 CFU or colony forming units are present

But 0.1 ml of culture has been used so:

CFU/ml would be 270000 * 10 = 2700000 CFU/ml

Hence concentration of suspension is 2700000 CFU/ml
