    2700000 CFU/ml

    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
