Recovery of coliphages from wastewater effluents and polluted lake water by the magnetite-organic flocculation method.

G Bitton, L T Chang, S R Farrah and K Clifford

ABSTRACT

A magnetite-organic flocculation method was developed for the concentration of coliphages from wastewater effluents and polluted lake water. A high percent (68 to 100%) recovery of coliphages from sewage effluents was achieved by this procedure. Coliphage recovery from Lake Alice, a sewage-contaminated lake, showed phage concentrations ranging from 2.3 X 10(2) to 1.9 X 10(3) plaque-forming units per liter. This method is simple and inexpensive and may be carried out under field conditions.
