FIGURE 3.
The temperature-dependent adsorption curves. The bacteria were grown in the minimal M9 medium supplemented with 0.4% glucose. The reactions were carried out in the λ-buffer. The normalized free phage concentration is plotted as a function of time for different temperatures. Here, triangles, diamonds, squares, and circles correspond to T = 40, 30, 20, and 4°C, respectively. The solid lines are fits to the data (see text for details).
