- Assume that you counted 67 plaques on a bacterial plate where 0.1ml of a 10-5 dilution of phage was added to bacterial culture. What is the initial concentration of the undiluted phage? Show your calculations and give your answer in pfu/ml (pfu = plaque-forming units)Assume that one counted 67 plaques on a bacterial plate where 0.1 ml of a 10-5 dilution of phage was added to bacterial culture. What was the initial concentration of the undiluted phage?Draw a dilution scheme for a dilution of phage from 1.5 x 1010 PFU/mL to 1.00 x 102 PFU/mL. Achieve this serial dilution considering the following: The volumes of each dilution should be 1.0mL. It is not advisable to perform any dilutions > 1/100. The first dilution in any titre determination of stock phage should use 10µl or less of stock.
- If a single bacteriophage infects one E. coli cell present in a cultureof bacteria and, upon lysis, yields 200 viable viruses, howmany phages will exist in a single plaque if three more lytic cyclesoccur?As described in Figure, host DNA is hydrolyzed into smallpieces, which are occasionally assembled with phage proteins, creatinga phage with bacterial chromosomal DNA. If the breakage ofthe chromosomal DNA is not random (i.e., it is more likely tobreak at certain spots as opposed to other spots), how might nonrandombreakage affect cotransduction frequency?A researcher is studying the rII locus of phage T4. FourrII− strains are obtained: A, B, C, and D. In the first experiment, E. coli strain K(λ) is coinfected with two rII− strains simultaneously and the results are recorded. Infection with A and B phage = lysis occurs Infection with A and C phage = lysis occurs Infection with B and C phage = no lysis occurs Infection with B and D phage = no lysis occurs Infection with C and D phage = no lysis occurs In a second experiment, coinfections are performed first in E. coli strain B, then the progeny phage are used to infect E. coli strain K(λ). Progeny of A and B phage = plaques form Progeny of B and C phage = plaques form Progeny of C and D phage = plaques form Progeny of B and D phage = no plaques from Which conclusions are consistent with these data? Why? A) Strains A and B carry mutations in the same gene. B) Strains B and D both carry the same mutation. C) Strains B, C, and D carry mutations in the same gene. D)…
