This document summarizes a student's report on isolating and characterizing a bacteriophage from soil samples. The student describes collecting soil, enriching samples to isolate phages, purifying phages through multiple plating and titration steps, and determining the titer of isolated phage lysates. Electrophoresis of isolated phage DNA was performed to characterize restriction enzyme cleavage patterns. The goal of the experiment was to learn scientific techniques for isolating novel bacteriophages and exploring their potential applications.
