You should have colonies on some of your plates.  To minimize the possibility of working with a double transductant, use colonies of the plate that used the most diluted P22. While ''int'' P22 cannot form true lysogens, pseudolysogens can occur.  We can distinguish phage-cured transducatants from pseudolysognens by streaking on green agar plates.  Phage free colonies are light green, while psedolysogens are dark blue-green.

#Streak a desired number of colonies onto green agar plates.  I typically pick four for routine strain construction.
