Bacteriophages as model organisms in water treatment
Microbiol Sci.
1987 Dec.
Abstract
F-specific RNA bacteriophages have great potential as model organisms for monitoring the fate of human viruses in water treatment processes. They are consistently present in large numbers in all kinds of wastewaters and their resistance to inactivation is relatively high. A simple and reliable enumeration method is available.
