| Plaque Notes | After performing our first attempt to begin forming phage-- using serial dilutions and plaque assay-- we received our first results:
We found phage within our petri dishes of 10^0, 10^-1, and one in 10^-2. Our 10^0 had phage only on half of the petri dish. Could it be because the dish was tilted to one side due to the table being slanted? The plate colors were a turbid yellow. 10^-1 had approximately 30 phage and was too tilted to one side. 10^-2 only had 2 phage, and after 10^-3, they were all solid with no sign of phage. |
