The invention relates to an efficient enrichment method for low-concentration bacteriophages in river and
lake water bodies, which remarkably improves the
recovery rate and the concentration multiple of the bacteriophages through a multi-stage synergistic technology in combination with physical interception, chemical
precipitation and biological targeted adsorption. The method specifically comprises the following steps: pretreatment: removing large particles and
suspended solids through gradient
filtration and low-speed
centrifugation;
ultrafiltration concentration: adopting a hollow
fiber ultrafiltration membrane with the molecular weight
cut-off of 30-100 kDa, and realizing 10-50 times concentration under the pressure of 0.1-0.3 MPa; chemical
precipitation strengthening: optimizing synergistic
precipitation conditions of PEG and NaCl, and reducing phage inactivation in combination with low-temperature standing;
specific adsorption of host
bacteria: combining the host
bacteria in the logarithmic phase with
bacteriophage according to the volume ratio of 1: 100, and carrying out
pH regulation and control
elution to obtain a high-purity enriched solution. The method has the advantages that the total concentration multiple reaches 500-1000 times, and the
recovery rate is gt; the activity
retention rate is gt; and the method is suitable for a complex
water body environment. Through a multi-technology
combination strategy and targeted adsorption design, an efficient tool is provided for
environmental monitoring,
phage therapy and microbiological research.
