Encapsulation in alginate-polymers improves stability and allows controlled release of the UFV-AREG1 bacteriophage.

The bacteriophage UFV-AREG1 was used as a model organism to evaluate the encapsulation via extrusion using different hydrocolloids. Pure alginate [0.75%, 1.

Genome Sequence of the Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Bacteriophage UFV-AREG1.

Here, we present the genome sequence of the Escherichia coli bacteriophage UFV-AREG1. This phage was isolated from cowshed wastewater and showed specificity for enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 (ATCC 43895), E.
