if there is no colonies on the wild type or lysate or ADP-6only plates, did you obtain an approximate 10x-fold change in colony numbers between the different dilutions? did you expect this? pls help

Answer 1

Yes, expect that.
in the original plates, it is likely those colonies were dominated by one genotype. See this:
