A new procedure for production and purification of the thermophilic bacteriophage TP-84 in high yields is described. Cultures of Bacillus stearothermophilus strain 10, enriched with nutrients to obtain heavy growth and to prevent sporulation and maintained at a pH of 6.5, were infected with the phage in a 100-liter fermentor. Addition of magnesium chloride (0.01 M) and a temperature of 58-C were essential for maximal phage production. Phage (5 times 1011 infective particles/ml) was precipitated with polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 6,000) in the presence of sodium chloride and was further purified by cesium chloride density centrifugation.
描述了一种高产生产和纯化嗜热噬菌体TP - 84的新方法。嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌菌株10的培养物,用营养物质富集以获得大量生长并防止孢子形成,并保持在pH 6.5,在100升发酵罐中用噬菌体感染。添加氯化镁(0.01 M)和58℃的温度对于最大噬菌体产量至关重要。噬菌体(5×10¹¹感染性颗粒/毫升)在氯化钠存在下用聚乙二醇(分子量6000)沉淀,并通过氯化铯密度离心进一步纯化。
