QUIZ:QUIZ:1.1. What is the purpose of CaCl2 addition What is the purpose of CaCl2 addition
into our phage titer mixture?into our phage titer mixture?
2.2. If you count 100 plaques in your 10If you count 100 plaques in your 10-4-4 plate, what is the pfu/ul of your stock?plate, what is the pfu/ul of your stock?
(hint: you prepared your dilutions in a (hint: you prepared your dilutions in a total volume of 200ul and put 100ul total volume of 200ul and put 100ul into your phage titer mixture)into your phage titer mixture)
Bacteriophage: Bacteriophage:
• Viruses that attack bacteriaViruses that attack bacteria
• Two types of life cycle:Two types of life cycle:
1.Lytic cycle:1.Lytic cycle:
The process beginning with a single The process beginning with a single phage genome and release of new phage genome and release of new phage progenyphage progeny
2. Lysogenic cycle:2. Lysogenic cycle:
DNA is integrated into the host DNA is integrated into the host chromosomechromosome
The inserted phage genome or prophage The inserted phage genome or prophage is passively replicated as part of the is passively replicated as part of the bacterial chromosomebacterial chromosome

Today’s Experiment:Today’s Experiment:
II. Phage titer of your phage stockII. Phage titer of your phage stock• Label four 1.5ml eppendorf for 10Label four 1.5ml eppendorf for 10-2-2, 10, 10-4-4, 10, 10-6-6, 10, 10-8-8 • Prepare serial dilution of your phage stock, in a total of 200ulPrepare serial dilution of your phage stock, in a total of 200ul• Label four 15ml falcon tube for 10Label four 15ml falcon tube for 10-2-2, 10, 10-4-4, 10, 10-6-6, 10, 10-8-8 • In each 15ml falcon, put 250ul of your bacteria (sensitive In each 15ml falcon, put 250ul of your bacteria (sensitive
