P1 Plaque Assay 2 11/7/2018
Rationale: perform plaque assay with plaque 1 because the previous plaque assay had a contaminated control plate
Process:
- Added 30 µL of p1 lysate into o.5 mL arthro and let sit for 15 minutes
- Made LB agar media for 4 plaque assay plates (control, 3 samples)
-
Reagents Amount LB Broth 8 mL 2X TA 10 mL 1M CaCl2 90 µL
-
- Poured 5 mL of media into 3 separate tube for sample plates
- One for RSM, LCG, and SJ
- Poured Arthro and lysate mixture into an LB agar sample tube
- Poured contents of tube onto a plate
- Poured the contents of the remaining LB agar media without lysate onto control plate
- Let solidify for ~15 minutes
- Incubate for 48 hours at 28 degrees C
Next Steps: calculate titer of lysate and perform another plaque assay to get a higher titer.
