The book will provide an overview of the function of phages and what researchers need to know, from phage hunting to laboratory design, management, production and application using different tools and methods. These key aspects will be discussed through a series of dedicated chapters, with topics covering auditing, validation, data analysis, microbial identification, culture media, and contamination control, etcSummary: Applications of phage biocontrol in aquatic habitats and on farms -- Practical aspects of phage biocontrol testing and applications -- Contamination control risks and remediation strategies, along with rapid microbiological detection methods -- Phage hunting, propagation and enhancing lytic activity to target the host cell -- Relevant phage biocontrol applications and quality control assessment -- Alternative applications for phage in wastewater and other water treatment, including control of harmful algal blooms -- Use as an environmental biocontrol in healthcare, crowded, sensitive or unsanitary environments -- Healthcare applications, obstacles and considerations -- Uses in a timed-release format for ingestion or injection -- indexPPN: PPN: 165760487XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBL
