How can bacteriophages be isolated from the environment?
Answered
Bacteriophages can be isolated from the environment by collecting samples from sources such as soil, water, or sewage, and then enriching them with the target bacteria to allow phages to infect and lyse the bacteria. The presence of phages is detected by using plaque assays or other phage detection methods.
