We were unable to isolate our own phage because our top agar was contaminated so our plates kept on getting contaminated, and because of the time restrain we were unable to isolate our own.
The significance of calculating a high titer lysate is that it allows us to see the concentration of phage in our solution which is helpful if/when our phage gets chosen then they can know if our phage concentration is high or low and make dosages based on that.

What properties of temperate phage make it considered not ideal for phage therapy?
LikeLike
Temperate phages infect bacteria at a slower rate which can cause the issue of them being able to replicate and spread antibiotic resistant genes

The significance of our phage being in the siphovirdae family is that it has different characteristics like a long sheath unlike a myoviridae.

Do you have an idea on experiments that would allow you to isolate your own phage?

No, there isn’t a certain experiment that could allow us to isolate a phage. We just have to collect a dirt sample and hope for the best
