Today we looked at a paper describing efficient ways to propagate large phage.  They suggested agarose instead of agar, and at a concentration of 0.15% which is 1.5 g/L.  Dr. Grose explained to us that agarose is more stable and forms larger pores, requiring a smaller amount of powder to produce a solid, stable gel. LB Agarose top agar can be plated onto normal LB bottom agar.  We will make up some agarose top agar and see what size of plaques we get.
