A plaque assay is performed beginning with 1 mL of a solution containing bacteriophages. This solution is serially diluted three times by combining 0.1 mL of each sequential dilution with 9.9 mL of liquid medium. Then 0.1 mL of the final dilution is plated in the plaque assay and yields 17 plaques. What is the initial density of bacteriophages in the original 1 mL?

A plaque assay is performed beginning with 1 mL of a solution containing bacteriophages. This solution is serially diluted 4 times by combining 0.1 mL of each sequential dilution with 9.9 mL of liquid medium. Then 0.1 mL of the final dilution is plated in the plaque assay and yields 21 plaques. What is the initial density of bacteriophages in the original 1 mL? Recall that initial phage density = (plaque number/mL) ×× (dilution factor).

Once cloning is complete, a recombinant OXA-M290 protein can be produced in E. coli. Competent E. coli BL21(DE3) cells are transformed with the pET-28a-OXA-M290 plasmid, and the transformed cells are grown on an agar plate that contains kanamycin. The E. coli BL21(DE3) cells transformed with the pET-28a-OXA-M290 vector are next grown in liquid growth media that contains kanamycin. Once the culture reaches an OD600 of 0.6, isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is added to a final concentration of 0.5 mM to induce protein production. How does the addition of IPTG result in the transcription of genes that are regulated by the T7 promoter in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells? [4 – 6 sentences suggested] For Context ONLY: For this biology course and based on the results obtained from a previous BLAST search, the bacteria responsible for the infection at a Hospital is most likely a new strain of Escherichia coli. This strain is given the name E. coli AFB. Earlier, BLAST was used to study a…
