Gene probes developed locally for both enteric Adenoviruses 40 and 41 were used to determine whether these viruses were present in both raw and treated waters. Approximately sixty water samples were concentrated by ultrafiltration and analysed directly for the presence of enteric adenoviruses. Three pretreatment techniques, namely sephadex columns, cellulose fibre and GenecleanTM were tested for the removal of inhibitory substances from concentrated water samples. The effect of chlorine treatment on viral detection using gene probe hybridization was also examined by exposing adenoviruses to chlorine concentrations of up to 20mg/l for 1 hour. Enteric adenoviruses were detected in up to 59% of both raw and treated waters analysed. Cellulose fibre and GenecleanTM were found to successfully remove inhibitory substances from concentrated raw waters. Viral DNA was detected after exposure to a range of chlorine concentrations indicating that the viruses detected in the treated waters may have been inactivated virus particles.

Twenty-eight samples, comprising a total of 224 oysters, were examined for the presence of Vibrio vulnificus. Oyster homogenates were plated onto cellobiose—polymyxin B–colistin (CPC) agar or V. vulnificus enumeration (VVE) agar, with subsequent hybridization with a gene probe specific for this pathogen. Of over 3,500 cellobiose-positive colonies initially tested from CPC agar, 28.7% could be identified as V. vulnificus on the basis of probe hybridization. Of the 19,000 colonies developing on VVE agar, only 2.8% were identified as this species. When in subsequent CPC agar studies colony morphology as well as color was considered, 81.6% of over 1,000 colonies probed proved to be V. vulnificus. We conclude that CPC agar is highly selective for this pathogen, and may be effectively employed in monitoring studies to determine levels of this bacterium in molluscan shellfish.

The protein product of cistron 3 of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage Ø29 is essential for viral DNA synthesis and is covalently bound to the 5’-termini of the Ø29 DNA. When the DNA-protein complex is cleaved with a restriction endonuclease, the protein is bound to the two terminal fragments. The 28,000 dalton protein can be visualized by electron microscopy as a small dot and often is seen only when two ends are in apposition as in multimers or in glutaraldehyde-fixed aggregates. We sought to improve the visibility of these small proteins by use of antibody labeling.
