Phage Sensor

Saturday 10th August

Test of M13 and Liquid culture

Test of M13

1) 100 μ l of plating bacteria per tube
2) Prepare tenfold serial dilutions (10-6 to 10-9 ) of the bacteriophage stock in LB
3) Put 10 μ l/ 100 μ l of each dilution to the bacteria
4) Mix the bacteriophage particles with the bacterial culture by vortexing gently.
5) Add 40 μ l of X-gal solution (working conc) and IPTG (working conc) solution to each of the tubes
6) Add 3ml of Agar to each tube and gently vortexing for 3 seconds
7) Pour the mixture onto plates containing LB medium supplemented with 5 mM MgCl2
8) Swirl the plate gently to ensure an even distribution of bacteria and agar.
9) Incubate them at 37°C.
