How many mL of water can one use for serial dilution regardless of bottle/tube size. Can it be whatever ? As the main goal is to dilute and isolate ? Appreciate you

I find using a total volume of 10 mL for each dilution convenient. Start off with 10 mL, add/dilute/shake, then use 1 mL of that to the next container with 9 mL of new water. Do that 3 times and then you will have your 1X, 10X, 100X, 1000X. I plate out 1 mL of each of those. Then you get a wide range of germination rates to choose from.

Standard MEYA. It will absorb that water in 30 minutes.
