Hi everyone
Has anybody successfully isolated phages from soils stored frozen after sampling?
Thank you

Wanted to share that no faculty has shared with me that they've tried this.

Hi Vic
thanks for the reply,I found a citation from an seaphages abstract, I think from a student or faculty at UPitt, that isolated phages from frozen soils during the winter of 2023. But she isolated them actually from outdoor frozen soils. I was going to try to isolate from soils in storage at -80C.
thank you
F
