Relative to the colony recovery using only phage buffer.
Ten colonies were picked from the seeded plates and restreaked, and three colonies of each were tested for phage release and immunity. The numbers of colonies of the 30 total colonies releasing phage are shown.
The proportions of each of the original 10 colonies restreaked from seeded plates of which at least one of the three retested colonies released phage.
