After enrichment, temperate, lytic, or no plaques could have been produced. The first round of enrichment with a soil sample didn’t produce any plaques so we weren’t very confident the second time around.
We would need to do restriction digest and PCR tests to determine the phage cluster in order to make predictions regarding the type of bacteria it can be used for treatment.
We didn’t make a hypothesis because there was no way of predicting the lifestyle of the phage from the soil sample until we performed enrichment and purification and studied the plaque morphology.
What was the expected outcome of the presentation?
What was the expected outcome of the soil you tested? (disregard my first question)

Hey! Great job on your presentation! What type of viral infections do you think duckduckgoose would be useful to treat and why?

Hi Mia, what results would you like to see if you preformed the restriction digest?
