Assay for Phage Containing the Beta-galactosidase Gene - http://humgen.wustl.edu/hdk_lab_manual/lambda/lambda7.html

Category: Reporter Gene Assays: B-Galactosidase Assay Protocols

This assay is used when working with phage vectors carrying the beta-gal gene. If the cloning event disrupts a normally functional copy of the gene in the vector the resulting plaques would appear clear in the assay. If the phages contain a functional beta-gal gene they will form blue rings around their plaques. Any strain which is not an overproducer of beta-gal will work as indicator host bacteria; a single chromosomal copy of the gene is not a problem. - [Read Assay for Phage Containing the Beta-galactosidase Gene]

This assay is used when working with phage vectors carrying the beta-galactosidase gene (often used for immunological screening). If the cloning event disrupts a normally functional copy of the gene in the vector the resulting plaques would appear clear in the assay. If the phages contain a functional beta-galactosidase gene they will form blue rings around their plaques. Any strain which is not an overproducer of beta- galactosidase will work as indicator host bacteria. - [Read Assay for Phage Containing the Beta-galactosidase Gene Protocol]

Phage are streaked onto a medium to obtain an independent isolate prior to preparing a new lysate. This is done to reduce the likelihood of working with lysates which have become contaminated, and/or have accumulated mutations. - [Read Streaking Lambda Phages Protocol]

Absorption Spectroscopy and Quantification of Filamentous Phage Protocol

Unlike spherical phage, such as T4 and λ, which have roughly equal weight ratios of protein to DNA, filamentous phage have about six times more protein than DNA; the protein therefore contributes substantially to the absorption spectrum.
