FIGURE 5.
T4 bacteriophage numbers after incubation (at 37°C for 24 h) with eBeam inactivated host cells (EB), heat-killed host cells (HK), non-treated live host cells (PC – positive control), and no host cells (NC – negative control). The 0, 4, 24 h, and day 9 time points represent the time after host cell treatment. Two independent experiments were performed, with standard deviations shown. ∗∗∗Denotes statistical significance (p < 0.001); ∗∗∗∗denotes statistical significance (p < 0.0001).
