Preliminary evaluation of the coliphage technique in three Canadian rivers / by B.J. Dutka and K. Walsh.: En13-5/85-93E-PDF
"Providing microbiological support to research and monitoring projects initiated by Environment Canada scientists and managers has long been hampered by the necessity of processing water, effluent and sediment samples within 24 hours of collection for traditional microbiological parameters. In an attempt to develop a set of microbial parameters which would be amenable to preservation and stability over a 48-72 hr transit period, the Microbiology Laboratories Section staff have investigated several techniques, one being the coliphage technique. This report presents the first set of data collected from three Canadian rivers, on the relationship of coliphage (bacteriophage to E. coli) to traditional indicator enteric indicator bacteria"--Abstract.
