Preparation

  1. Grow prey bacteria on agar plates using the medium indicated below. Use one plate of a 24-hour-old culture and wash off grown cells in 5 ml sterile water.
  2. Prepare HEPES buffer, adjust pH to 7.2, and autoclave. After cooling to room temperature add 5 ml cell suspension of the host organism to 50 ml HEPES buffer and mix. The prey medium suspension should contain approx. 10<sup>7</sup> to 10<sup>9</sup> cells. Inoculate the complete medium immediately after preparation and incubate the suspension with shaking until a decrease in turbidity is visible.

Target organisms

No target organisms are recorded.
