| Discovery Notes | The plaque was consistent with web lysis at 10^0 but it diluted out after higher titers. When trying to make my 10 plate of the plaque, the plaque would not multiply and perform lysis like before. I tested the volume, redid the trials,and even tried a new lysate. I also tested the amount of time of incubation. In each of these case the plaques would form but not ultiply enough to be considered web lysis. |
| Naming Notes | I named the phage Cantor because it did not cooperate with me when trying to plate the 10 plate lysate of 10^0. The problem was that the plaques would not multiply into lysis. |
