Abstract:Rainwater, as a sustainable source of drinking water, is becoming increasingly important worldwide. Appropriate microbiological techniques are needed to ensure the acceptability of rainwater for potable uses. Bacteriophage has been widely used as a viral indicator in water studies, and its concentration is an important step when sampling several litres of water. Skimmed-milk flocculation (SMF) is a simple method for viral recovery, and its efficiency has already been assessed for some viruses. However, there a… Show more
