Soil Washing Melissa’s Soil 11/12/16
Rationale: Melissa wanted more lysate from her soil that tested positive for phage so Lily and I washed and enriched more soil
Process:
- Wash table and set up aseptic zone
- Added ~7 mL LB broth to soil (filled to 5 mL mark)
- Shook and vortexed for 15 minutes
- Centrifuged for 10 minutes at 3000 G
- Filtered with syringe filter
- LCG sample enriched and incubated for 48 hours at 28 degrees C
- RSM sample stored as direct in fridge
- there was not enough arthro for both samples to be enriched
Next steps: Perform plaque assay with enriched sample to check for any plaques
