Optimum pH levels for eluting enteroviruses from sludge solids with beef extract.

Abstract:

:This study demonstrates that elution of enteroviruses from a mixture of primary- and activated-sludge solids with beef extract at pH 9.2 +/- 0.2 may be less efficient than elution with beef extract at pH 7.2 +/- 0.2 and that elution of enteroviruses from extended-aeration-sludge solids with beef extract is at best no more efficient at pH 9.2 +/- 0.2 than at pH 7.2 +/- 0.2. Thus, the common practice of adjusting the pH of beef extract used for eluting enteroviruses from the natural neutral level of the elutant to alkaline levels is unnecessary and probably undesirable.
