Soft Agar Overlay Assay for Detecting Bacteriocin-Mediated Killing in <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i>
Source: Hockett, K. L., and Baltrus, D. A. Use of the Soft-agar Overlay Technique to Screen for Bacterially Produced Inhibitory Compounds. J. Vis. Exp. (2017)This video demonstrates the procedure for detecting bacteriocin-mediated killing by spotting supernatant from an antibiotic-induced donor strain onto a soft agar overlay containing a test strain. Clear zones formed after incubation indicate bacterial inhibition.
