Abstract
A modification of a recently reported rapid plate method for the isolation of bacteriophages from lysogenic bacteria is described. The velveteen replica plate technique was used for inoculation of mitomycin C-induced colonies onto agar plates, and tetrazolium chloride was used to enhance detection of phage activity on replicated indicator plates.
