Bacteriophage enrichment from water and soil.
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.
