After the infection, we added kanamycin into these JM101 for selection becauseJM101 can get kanamycin resistance only when they are infected by M13KO7. Then we incubated these JM101 so they can have time to release phagemid-carrying phage, and the incubating time is the second variable in our test.<br><br> | After the infection, we added kanamycin into these JM101 for selection becauseJM101 can get kanamycin resistance only when they are infected by M13KO7.

As we can see in this figure, the most amount of phage being released is at the time when we add kanamycin after 30 minutes of infection and then incubate them for 14 hours. Under this condition, the best releasing amount of phage is 4×10^10 pfu/ml.</font></p><br><br> | As we can see in this figure, the most amount of phage being released is at the time when we add kanamycin after 30 minutes of infection and then incubate them for 14 hours.

In our test, we found that as long as the MOI is higher than 6 pfu/cfu, the infection rate can access 100%. This is an exciting result!!</p></font><br><br> | In our test, we found that as long as the MOI is higher than 6 pfu/cfu, the infection rate can access 100%.
