Grow phage to practice purification procedures.

II) Expected Outcome

Viable stocks of both T4 and T7.

III) Reagants Used

W3110 and BL21 freezer stocks

LB

T4 and T7 phage stocks

IV) Actual Procedure

Infect 45 mL of LB with 2 loop-fulls of bacterial freezer stock and let sit at 37^◦ C overnight.

Infect W3110 with 100 µL T4 and BL21 with 100 µL T7.

Let both cultures sit overnight at 37^◦ C.

V) Results
