Relative bacteriophage reactivation and plating efficiency factors on stationary-phase P. aeruginosa PAO1 and a uvrA knockout derivative of P. aeruginosa PAO1
| Phage | Reactivation factor for UV-C-irradiated phage under the following incubation conditionsa:
|
Plating factor for unirradiated phagea | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark | Photoreactivating | ||
| D3C3 | 7.5 × 10−6 | 2.3 × 10−3 | 0.46 |
| F116 | NDb | ND | ND |
| G101 | 1.2 × 10−4 | 2 × 10−3 | 1.07 |
| UNL-1 | 1.3 × 10−5 | 3.1 × 10−2 | 0.97 |
The factors were each calculated by comparing the plating (plaque-forming) efficiency of a phage sample on stationary-phase uvrA knockout host cells to the plating (plaque-forming) efficiency of stationary-phase P. aeruginosa PAO1 host cells. The values are means based on two experiments.
ND, not determined.
