Classical bacterial enrichment devised by Sergius Winogradsky (1856-1953) and Martinus Beijerinck (1851-1931) can be modified to enrich for bacteria-specific viruses. In this chapter simple protocols are presented for the enrichment of phages from water samples, such as sewage, and soil.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
