UV inactivation of humic-coated bacteriophages MS2 and T4 in water

This bench-scale study investigated the hypothesis that humic acids may thinly coat the surfaces of viruses (bacteriophages MS2 and T4) and thereby protect them from inactivation by UV light (254 nm). The model viruses were mixed in buffered water (pH 5.5) that contained Aldrich ® humic acid (AHA) c...
