Survival of bacteriophage 1 of the Salmonella typhimurium phage typing scheme in different liquid maintenance media and at different temperatures

The survival of Bacteriophage 1, of the Salmonella typhimurium phage typing scheme, was studied in nutrient broth, saline and distilled water at 4 degrees C, 20 degrees C and 37 degrees C. From the results of this work it can be concluded that the survival of the phage is longer at 4 degrees C in al...

Summary:The survival of Bacteriophage 1, of the Salmonella typhimurium phage typing scheme, was studied in nutrient broth, saline and distilled water at 4 degrees C, 20 degrees C and 37 degrees C. From the results of this work it can be concluded that the survival of the phage is longer at 4 degrees C in all three maintenance media and that the survival is longer in both nutrient broth and saline than in distilled water.
