Further information:
Mutants blocked in the synthesis of uridine diphosphogalactose are resistant, because they lack phage receptor sites.
This phage is highly specific for and does only attack E. coli K12 (Gal+) and is therefore a useful identification tool for K12 whereas strains B, C or W are not sensitive

Cultivation conditions:
Phage propagation:
Supply, storage and propagation of phages
Revitalisation of Vacuum-Dried Phages
When stored at 4°C, the phage must be stabilized by addition of NaCl to a concentration of 1 M. Please use NZCYM medium for phage propagation (Medium 544).
