摘要
The biocatalytic oxygen reducing agent oxyrase enzyme (Oxyrase(R)) was shown to be useful for the detection of bacteriophages infecting the anaerobic bacteria Bacteroides fragilis, which have been proposed as potential indicators of human viruses and/or human faecal pollution in water. Oxyrase(R) provided very good conditions both for growing Bact. fragilis in liquid cultures in aerobic conditions and for the enumeration of bacteriophages by means of a triple agar layer for the detection of plaque-forming units.
