Centrifuge

Radioactivityin liquid

Measure theradioactivity inthe pellet andthe liquid.

4Centrifuge the mixtureso bacteria form apellet at the bottom ofthe test tube.

3Agitate in a blender toseparate phagesoutside the bacteriafrom the cells andtheir contents.

2Mix radioactivelylabeled phages withbacteria. The phagesinfect the bacterial cells.
