Resistance of phage phiAxp-2 to physical and chemical agents.

(a) Effect of pH on the phage phiAxp-2 titer after incubation for 60 min in LB broth at 37 °C. (b) Inactivation kinetics of phage phiAxp-2 at 4 °C, 25 °C, 37 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C, 70 °C and 80 °C. (c) Inactivation kinetics of phage phiAxp-2 in the presence of 10%, 50%, 75% and 95% ethanol. (d) Inactivation kinetics of phage phiAxp-2 in the presence of 10%, 50% and 95% isopropanol. (e) Viability of phage phiAxp-2 in LB broth with different Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations. On all graphs, the values are the means of three determinations.
