Characterizing Actinobacteriophage Infection Using an Adapted Optical Density Assay

June 30th 2023



Краткое содержание

An optical density-based microplate method is described to quantify long-term bacterial growth in the presence of bacteriophages, suitable for actinomycetes and other slow-growing bacteria. This method includes modifications to reduce evaporation and lid condensation and R code to calculate virus infection metrics, including the area under the curve, growth maximum, and relative virulence.
