Homework Answers
The plaque assay will help determine the individual of virus. The overlay assist agar helps to keep the cells stable. It also helps to limit the spread of virus. So that when virus lyse a bacterial cell and comes out, it infects the neighboring cells and plaques could be formed.
The bacterial is exponential phase carry out active metabolism and rapid cell division. The secondary metabolites, bacterial defense systems and bacterial cell are young and easy to manipulate. Exponential phase cells are prone to easier viral attacks, stress sensible and sensitive to antibiotics. Hence this is the ideal phase to study viral plaque assay.

You repeat the viral plaque assay adding 10 microliters of viral solution to 990 microliters of LB. You perform this serial dilution five times. You add 10 microliters from each dilution to the corresponding host bacteria molten top agar mixture which is then spread onto an LB agar plate. The next day you count 39 plaques on the fourth plate. Why is it that on plate 3 the number of plaques will be 39 x 10^2 and on plate 5...

In Chapter 21, we performed the plaque assay in which the T4 bacteriophage was used to infect E. coli strain B cells. Select one of the scenarios below, indicate the expected result, and describe what could have caused the observed result. You are asked to repeat the plaque assay using the T4 bacteriophage with E. coli strain B. After a 24 hour incubation period at 37°C, you observe no plaques on all of your plates. You are asked to repeat...

A microbiology student was carrying out an independent research
project in which he needed to know the number of infectious phage
particles added during a particular step in an experimental
protocol. In preparation for the experiment, he passed a crude
mixture of phage plus infected bacteria through a 0.45 micrometer
filter and collected the filtrate (portrayed below in the
green-capped Eppendorf tube):
Once the filtrate was prepared, the student used the P-20 shown
in the photograph to transfer a volume...
