Abstract
Bacteriophage infections of microbial processes are relatively common but can be economically devasting. If the designers and operators of bioreactors have an understanding of the biology and ecology of bacteriophages the risks and hazards of bacteriophage infections can be minimised. If an infection should occur it is important to recognize the fact as soon as possible. The symptoms of a phage infection and'procedures for cleaning-up infected bioprocess plants are described.
