Screening of bacterial colonies with X-gal and IPTG (alpha complementary)
The chromogenic substrate X-gal can be mixed with bacterial cultures, mixed with solubilized top agar and spread on selective culture plates. This experiment is

λ Phage phage spot picking experiments
Genetically homologous λ phage protospecies are obtained by "picking" a completely separate phage spot and preserving agar/agarose containing the lysate
DNA binding protein assay
This experiment was used to detect sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins in crude extracts.
λ Alkaline phosphatase treatment assay of phage vector DNA
Removal of the terminal 5'-phosphate groups from the inner ends of the two arms of the λ phage effectively prevents self-association and reduces the back
Determination of DNA content in λ phage progeny and lysates by gel electrophoresis experiment
This program describes a method for rapid estimation of the DNA content in λ phage protospecies. The method can be used firstly to find out whether the y
Preparation of λ phage proto-species experiments with small quantities of liquid cultures
High-titer λ phage progenitors can be prepared from small quantities of liquid cultures. This method was first used by Leder et al. (1977). In general, i
Preparation of λ phage DNA that can be cleaved by a single restriction enzyme and used as a cloning vector
In some cases, prepared λ phage DNA can be used for cloning after simple digestion with restriction enzymes. However, this option is only feasible if the
Experimental purification of λ phage particles by isodensity gradient centrifugation with CsCl
CsCl iso-density gradient centrifugation is used to prepare the highest purity infectious λ phage pellet, which is free of any bacterial nucleic acid con
Extraction of λ phage DNA from large-scale cultures with formamide
Instead of SDS/proteinase K, formamide can be used to remove the shell from purified phage particles. This method is not very efficient, but in a sense it is fa
