Current data indicate that MS2 sample stability over time in some waters was
more variable than originally reported. This study examines different
groundwaters and ultraviolet (UV) absorbers to see if there was an interaction that led to loss of MS2
infectivity. Samples of groundwaters from three different aquifers were collected for the study.
Three UV absorbers (lignin sulfonate (LSA), coffee and humic acid) were used to adjust UVT to
75%. MS2 was added to each sample and phage concentrations were measured over a 50-day
period to examine stability. Preparation of MS2 stocks and enumerative MS2 assay are discussed. Includes 8 references, figures.
