The survival of Bacteriophage 1, of the Salmonella typhimurium phage typing scheme, was studied in nutrient broth, saline and distilled water at 4 degrees C, 20 degrees C and 37 degrees C. From the results of this work it can be concluded that the survival of the phage is longer at 4 degrees C in all three maintenance media and that the survival is longer in both nutrient broth and saline than in distilled water.
