What is SDS phage?

there is nothing like SDS phage but... 1. SDS is a well know detergent used to denature proteins before electrophoresis called SDSPAGE. 2. phage (bacteriophage) is a virus that infects the bacteria which contains eother DNA or RNA. SDS PAGE can be used to determine the phage proteins which u can call SDSPAGE of phage.

Why maltose is used in phage titration?

Maltose is used in phage titration because some bacteriophages use maltose as a carbon source. By including maltose in the diluent, the phages are provided with the necessary nutrients to replicate and form visible plaques on a bacterial lawn, which can then be counted to calculate the phage titer.

These scientists used a common kitchen appliance to help show that phage DNA carries instructions ti make new phage particles?

The scientists used a blender to break open the bacterial cells infected by phages, releasing the phage DNA. This demonstrated that the phage DNA carries instructions to produce new phage particles when introduced into a host bacterial cell.


The substance a phage leaves outside its host cell?

The substance a phage leaves outside its host cell is typically referred to as the "phage progeny" or "phage particles." These particles can include newly synthesized phage DNA and proteins, as well as the phage capsid that encapsulates the genetic material. This material can go on to infect other host cells and continue the phage replication cycle.
