The table shows the number of phage plaques observed per microliter of assembly reaction transformed into NEB 10-beta cells for three experimental replicates and their average.

b

Assembly reactions to construct the phage genome were cycled between 42 and 16 °C for 5 min at each temperature for 30 cycles (5 h) or 90 cycles (15 h) prior to electroporation.

c

Genome assembly reactions were carried out with BsmBI and T4 DNA ligase or BsmBI alone as a control.
