After the first round of purification, I once again found a phage. This means that I have truly begun the process of isolating a single phage. During lab on the 30th, I did another 6 plaque assays for my second round of purification. It is a little bit funny, because at first glance my plates appear to be absolutely empty, but when you look at them with light on them at an angle you find that they are absolutely webbed with Phage Concentrations: they simply aren’t as aggressive or pervasive as many of the phages from the past. I don’t care that my phage is relatively weak, I am happy to have found one.
