A phagehunter performs a full plate titer using standard techniques (100 ul of each dilution added to 250 ul of Gordonia terrae cells) of a lysate obtained from an optimum webbed plate experiment. The phagehunter counts 72 plaques on the 10-7 dilution plate. Which of the following scenarios is the best choice for the phagehunter to do next?
A phagehunter performs a full plate titer using standard techniques (100 ul of each dilution added to 250 ul of Gordonia terrae cells) of a lysate obtained from an optimum webbed plate experiment. The phagehunter counts 72 plaques on the 10-7 dilution plate. Which of the following scenarios is the best choice for the phagehunter to do next?
a.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should adopt a phage from direct isolation.
b.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should go back to the pick-a-plaque experiment.
c.) The phagehunter has achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments.
d.) The phagehunter has not achieved a high enough titer lysate to move forward with characterization experiments, so they should try to make more optimum webbed plates.
