III) Reagants Used BL21 1x LB top agar Phage: 14 T3 13 T5 10 T2 20OX171 40ØX174 IV) Actual Procedure We plated together .5mL of BL21 with 1X LB TA. We separated the plates into different segments and then spot tested the phage. The plates were then put in a 37°C incubator. V) Results No plaques were seen on a uniform bacterial lawn.
