*We made multiple solutions of pVJ4 and added varying amounts of Arabinose to determine how long complete lysis takes. We also added Chloramphenicol (1:1 ratio) in addition to Arabinose to see whether it would speed up lysis. | *We made multiple solutions of pVJ4 and added varying amounts of Arabinose to determine how long complete lysis takes.

*The first few readings indicated an increase in the optical density. This is to be expected because the bacteria are in the mid-log phase and still growing. Growth must occur in order for the S, R, and Rz genes to be expressed and translated. Cell lysis is complete in four hours. | *The first few readings indicated an increase in the optical density.
