The bacteriophage is first extracted from a solid environmental sample into a bacterial growth medium. Filter to remove bacteria, including those that are potentially dangerous. The filtered sample is inoculated with host bacteria, and the culture is cultivated to promote growth and replication. As the bacteria replicate, the phages present in the sample undergo multiple rounds of infection and lysis. The result is that the concentration of bacterial host-specific phage in the culture is exponentially higher than the initial environmental sample. Enrichment and separation are achieved by mixing soil samples with a bacterial growth medium to extract bacteriophages and then filtering out unwanted soil microorganisms. The bacterial host cells are then added to the filtrate. Any phage particle that recognizes a specific host can be grown and amplified through multiple rounds of lytic growth. A single phage particle can multiply into millions of particles. It is important to note that a particular type of phage may outperform other phages that are present, so the phage collection at the end may not necessarily represent the phage present in starting sample.
Enriched isolation is achieved by mixing soil samples with a bacterial growth medium to extract bacteriophages and then filtering out unwanted soil microorganisms. At Creative Biolabs, our scientists can provide high-quality services to meet your needs. Our services are listed as follows, but are not limited to:
By collecting samples from the soil, compost, water, or other bacteria-rich, our goal is to collect phages that can infect these bacteria. In order to increase the chances of collecting various phages that can infect specific host bacteria, we will consider the environment in which the host bacteria multiply.
By providing favorable conditions for phage replication, the enriched culture is used to amplify the phage present in the sample. The result is that the concentration of bacterial host-specific phage in the culture is exponentially higher than the initial environmental sample
Spot test can be used to screen enriched cultures or verify the presence of phages in putative plaques.
Creative Biolabs can meet the needs of customers for providing enriched isolation of phage services on time and on budget.
