Distribution of ribonucleic acid coliphages in Korea.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To determine the geographical distribution of ribonucleic acid (RNA) coliphages in Korea, we collected sewage samples from domestic drainage in densely populated urban areas in July through August, 1979. Of 132 samples, 74 (56%) contained RNA phages (106 strains). They were classified into groups I, II and III (4:47:55) by serological analysis. Based on previous data for Japan (groups II and III [3:11]) and Southeast Asia (mostly group III), the distribution pattern of RNA phages in Korea was of an intermediate type between those of Japan and Southeast Asia.

Serological relatedness of the ribonucleic acid-containing coliphages.
The serological relationship of the ribonucleic acid (RNA)-containing coliphages MS-2, M-12, R-17, f(2), beta, fr, f(4), and Qbeta was determined. Antisera against MS-2, R-17, f(2), fr, and Qbeta neutralized the infectivity of all of these RNA phages to varying degrees. Although each phage was serologically distinct, the antisera cross-reacted with certain phages to approximately the same degre...

To determine the distribution pattern of ribonucleic acid (RNA) coliphages (classified by serological groups I through IV) in animal sources, we isolated RNA phages from (i) feces samples from domestic animals (cows, pigs, horses, and fowls), some other animals in a zoological garden, and humans, (ii) the gastrointestinal contents of cows and pigs, and (iii) sewage samples from treatment plants...

We investigated coliphages from various fecal sources, including humans and animals, for microbial source tracking in South Korea. Both somatic and F+-specific coliphages were isolated from 43 fecal samples from farms, wild animal habitats, and human wastewater plants. Somatic coliphages were more prevalent and abundant than F+ coliphages in all of the tested fecal samples. We further character...

The efficiencies of the various methods used for phage concentration have been compared. The two-phase concentration method (with polyethylene glycol and dextran sulfate) gave maximal recoveries of infectivity for coliphages of the T-even and T-odd series and for ribonucleic acid phages and single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid phages. Precipitation of phages by acid gave high yields when appli...
