Description:
sample identifier: 1 for Fe-less (un-spiked) 0.02 um filtered M9 Minimal Media; 2 for 10 uM 57FeSO4 spiked 0.02 um filtered M9 minimal media; or 3 for 0.02 um filtered SM Buffer. Each stage of the experiment was designated sequentially as follows: 20's for pelleted E. coli cultures grown to mid-logarithmic phase and rinsed three times in Fe-less media (no 57Fe spike) by centrifugation and re-suspension; 30's for supernatant of pelleted bacteria (20's); 40's for unfiltered centrifuged supernatant of bacterial culture infected with phage overnight; 50's for 0.22 um filtered dissolved fraction; 60's for 0.02 um filtered soluble fraction; 70's for bacterial samples treated with chloroform; 80's for the supernatant (sample layer) above the sucrose cushion following ultracentrifugation; 90's for sucrose cushion pellet re-suspended in 0.02 um filtered SM buffer; DIA for dialyzed samples post-dialysis over 6 buffer tank changes; and B for dialysis buffer: B1 pre-dialysis; B1-2 post-initial dialysis; B3-2 post-third dialysis buffer tank change; and B6-2 post- final dialysis buffer tank change. Samples were treated in triplicate: A; B; C for E. coli phage T4 samples; D; E; F for chloroform-lysed bacterial control samples; and G; H; I for Blanks; and M; N; O for E. coli phage T5 samples.
