Nanoparticles Influence Lytic Phage T4-like Performance In Vitro.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about interactions of non-filamentous, complex-structured lytic phages and free, non-ordered nanoparticles. Emerging questions about their possible bio-sanitization co-applications or predictions of possible contact effects in the environment require testing. Therefore, we revealed the influence of various nanoparticles (NPs; SiO₂, TiO₂-SiO₂, TiO₂, Fe₃O₄, Fe₃O₄-SiO₂ and SiO₂-Fe₃O₄-TiO₂) on a T4-like phage. In great detail, we investigated phage plaque-forming ability, phage lytic performance, phage progeny burst times and titers by the eclipse phase determinations. Additionally, it was proved that TEM micrographs and results of NP ze
