A plaque assay is a way of determining the titer of the phage in pfu/ml by looking at the number of plaques and doing calculations based on dilution. LikeLike Reply
From where did you reference some of your research/ how did you learn so much about phages? LikeLike Reply
As the phage was a lytic phage this means it is automatically more suited for phage therapy. LikeLike Reply
How was your phage obtained? (i.e. do you know where it came from? What caused you to select this particular one?) LikeLike Reply
The plaques are formed when a phage infects and lyses a bacteria and the clear area of the plaque is the absence of bacteria. LikeLike Reply
Sorry, I think my previous comment didn’t upload! My question was: Why are you only about 80% sure this phage is in the A cluster? If you ran this experiment again, what result might change your mind about that? LikeLike Reply
If you repeated the experiment, what new result might convince you more firmly that this phage is in the A cluster and not the N cluster? LikeLike Reply

Everything I learned was from the phage lab lecture.

My phage was obtained from a soil sample right outside the lab.
