title: Distribution of F-specific bacteriophages and coliphages in wastewater.
abstract: A new method for quantifying F-specific bacteriophages in wastewater is described. Somatic coliphages were also determined. Host-strainSalmonella typhimurium WG 49 was sensitive to only a few bacteriophages and this could have arisen from infection by F-RNA phages. Host-strainEscherichia coli ATCC 9723 C, however, supported multiplication of a wide range of bacteriophages present in sewage, giving plaque counts one to three orders of magnitude greater than those on F(+) and F(-) salmonellas.
