All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
During bacteriological studies of the Logan City Sewage Oxidation Ponds, Logan, Utah, a group of bacteria was discovered which could lyse killed cells of Escherichia coli. The present research effort was an attempt to determine whether two isolates from this earlier study might play a role in the reduction of coliforms and other bacteria in the oxidation ponds. It was also desired to characterize partially the lytic enzymes produced by the two isolates and to determine as far as possible the organisms' identity.
Both isolates were Gram negative rod-shaped organisms with a single polar flagellum. On Cytophaga agar they …
