In this article we will discuss about the principle, requirements and procedure for isolation of coliphages from sewage. Principle: Samples like raw sewage when inoculated with a susceptible host on an agar medium will form plaques of the phage. There are various steps involved in isolation of phages: (i) Collection of phage containing samples from […]
