Comparison between the Biofilm Desorption Abilities of T4 and MS2 Coliphages
Biofilms are a collection of microorganisms that adhere to a surface where they continue to grow. Firmly established biofilms can be hazardous to human health.

Replication of coliphage lambda DNA [PDF]
A general scheme of lambda phage and plasmid DNA replication in Escherichia coli is presented, and results of in vivo experiments from the authors' laboratory are superimposed. The initiator lambda O functions in the assembly of the replication complex (RC) at ori lambda, making it a stable component of this structure.

Morphological Variants of Coliphage P1 [PDF]
Lysates of P1 from all hosts tested contained at least three morphological variants with respect to head size. These were termed “big” (P1B), “small” (P1S), and “minute” (P1M). Since successive clonings of plaques isolated on many different hosts failed to change the proportions of the variants, we concluded that the production of variants

Methodology for enumeration of coliphages in foods [PDF]
The effects of eluent composition, pH, and chaotropic agents on the recovery of T2, MS2, and indigenous coliphages from various foods were investigated. Additionally, methods of sample suspension and clarification were evaluated for coliphage recovery and application to various foods.

Effects of abiotic factors on the stability and infectivity of polyvalent coliphage
Bacteriophage has attracted growing interest as a promising therapeutic agent for pathogenic bacteria, especially for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, the various abiotic conditions could impact the stability of phages and further threat host ...

Coliphages as indicators of enteroviruses [PDF]
Coliphages were monitored in conjunction with indicator bacteria and enteroviruses in a drinking-water plant modified to reduce trihalomethane production. Coliphages could be detected in the source water by direct inoculation, and sufficient coliphages were detected in enterovirus concentrates to permit following the coliphage levels through different ...
