Effects of temperature and host cell growth phase on replication of F-specific RNA coliphage Q beta
1 Apr 1995
Abstract excerpt
Human enteric viruses have been found in groundwater in the absence of fecal coliforms. Because detection of human enteric viruses is costly, time-consuming, and lacking in sensitivity, F-specific RNA (FRNA) coliphages, which infect Escherichia coli by attachment to F pili, are being examined for suitability as indicators of human enteric viruses in groundwater. Temperatures and host cell growth conditions that...
