摘要

Riverbank filtration (RBF) can effectively remove pathogens while providing more consistentwater quality to subsequent treatment processes. EPA's LT2ESWTR provides regulatory creditfor pathogen removal by RBF. Many laboratory studies have attempted to physically model RBF,but experimental scale, media heterogeneity, and variable flow paths and fluxes have made itdifficult to relate laboratory outcomes to field performance. Accordingly, field studies have beenrelied upon to assess pathogen removal by RBF. In many such studies, organisms are introducedinto the susbsurface and their removal over specified travel distances is evaluated. PRD1 andPRD-like bacteriophages have been extensively used in many such RBF assessments because ofits high stability in aqueous and geologic media and structural and functional similarities tomammalian adenoviruses. Simple and reliable methods for bacteriophage isolation, propagationand enumeration are well established. However, methods for the production of large volumes ofhigh-titer purified phage suspensions that are often required for studying transport in porousmedia are scant. Recent methodological advances are dispersed in the literature. Based onliterature review and our own experimental results with the PR772/E. coli system, we propose aseries of reliable, cost effective and time saving procedures which can be used, with minoradjustments, to propagate, concentrate and purify any bacteriophage. The main focus of this workis to ensure maximum host sensitivity and high bacteriophage yields, effective particleconcentration, and maximum total organic carbon removal from the final lysate to produceoptimal bacteriophage suspensions for use in performance demonstrations.Plating trials achieved ~10x higher PR772 titers than liquid propagations. A few repetitions of theplating method will produce enough phage for use in many studies. When many liters of high titerphage suspension are required, liquid propagation is essential but it should be preceded bypropagation by plating to ensure consistent production of an initial phage suspension, which canthen be used to seed large volumes of liquid media for large-scale propagation. To ensuremaximum yields, a high phage concentration and short contact time (high multiplicity) methodfor liquid propagation of the PR772/E.coli system is recommended. A method using PEG8000and NaCl is a reliable choice for phage concentration since it is fast, gentle, efficient (highrecoveries), easy to use and removes undesirable impurities from phage lysates. Furtherpurification can be achieved by using Vertrel XF followed by centrifugation. The success of theproposed sequence of procedures greatly depends on key details specified in the materials andmethods. To avoid phage sensitivity losses, it is critical to ensure the host bacterium is properlycultured and stored.
