  • Taylor Stevenson
    • Phage infected VCS257 colonies cultured in 96 deep-well plate were spotted onto two LB plates using a 2uL plate replicator. Both plates were incubated O/N, one at 30*C and one at 42*C (temp is high enough to denature the CI repressor, causing any lysogen to become lytic).
    • Result-both plates showed bacterial growth at all but one spot after 24h. The one spot appears to be a lysogen.

The upper left spot on both plates is a negative control used to gauge aseptic technique. The only colony that appears to have grown @ 30*C, but not at 42*C was the third from the right at the top. This colony will be further screened for presence of a lysogen.



  • David Ouyang
    • PCR amplified the side tail fiber region (stf) and excision/integration segment (attp).
    • Ran gel - looks good, sent out for sequencing.
