A portable apparatus for concentrating bacteriophages from up to 200 1 of raw water is described. With this apparatus eight morphologically diverse phages were concentrated from 201 ‐to 10 ml with recoveries of 14–66%, representing concentration factors of x280‐x1320. The apparatus was also used to concentrate indigenous phages from 251 samples of river water.
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.
