Binding of bacteriophages to heparin and gelatin. E. coli ET (host culture) treated with phage coated Heparin (A) and Gelatin (B) agarose beads showed around 50% reduction in the bacterial growth after 3 h of incubation at 37° C whereas agarose beads coated with phages (C) did not affect the growth of host culture showing the affinity of phages to heparin/gelatin.
