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 ...

Localization of Coliphage MS2 A-Protein [PDF]
The purification of coliphage MS2 dinitrophenol (DNP) conjugates provided a system for localization of the single molecule of A-protein in the capsid of the MS2 phage particle. Three A-protein preparations isolated from unconjugated MS2, overconjugated DNP-MS2, and purified 78 S DNP-MS2 were tested for the presence ...

The Structure of Coliphages [PDF]
SUMMARY: The detailed morphology of several new coliphages is compared with that of the more familiar types; the resulting information is considered for its taxonomic value. Some were examined at molecular level and new information on the tail structure of the ‘T even’ phages is described.

Adsorption of Coliphages to Particulates
Adsorption characteristics of coliphages (host cell: E. coli B) to particulates (kaolin, sand, soil, microbial particulates in an oxidation pond) were investigated using batch experiments under various conditions of pH, concentrations of cations and concentrations of dissolved oxygen.

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 ...

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses infecting bacteria. They are widely present in the environment, food, and normal microflora. The human microbiome is a mutually interdependent network of bacteria, bacteriophages, and human cells.
