BACTERIOPHAGES SPECIFIC TO A PHOSPHATE DISSOLVING BACTERIUM (BACILLUS MEGATERIUM) I- ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BACTERIOPHAGES

Isolation and preliminary characterization of bacteriophages for Bacillus subtilis.

Romig, W. R. (University of California, Los Angeles), and A. M. Brodetsky. Isolation and preliminary characterization of bacteriophages for Bacillus subtilis. J. Bacteriol. 82:135-141. 1961.-A simplified procedure for direct isolation of phages for Bacillus subtilis from soil was developed. Phage enrichment was accomplished by growing streptomycin-resistant B. subtilis in medium previously inoc...

Discovery, Isolation and Characterization of Bacteriophages Specific for Edwardsiella Ictaluri

Isolation, characterization and therapeutic potential assessment of bacteriophages virulent to Staphylococcus aureus associated with goat mastitis

In the present study, the therapeutic potential of bacteriophages virulent to Staphylococcus aureus associated with goat mastitis were isolated, identified and assessed. Staphylococcus aureus (host or indicator bacterium) was isolated from a goat suffering from clinical mastitis. Based on cultural, morphological, biochemical tests and amplification of S. aureus specific thermonuclease gene inPC...

Isolation and characterization of bacteriophages for Neisseria.

Sixteen bacteriophages for several strains of Neisseria perflava were isolated from throat washings and lysogenic organisms. The phages are placed into five groups based on serological and host-range characteristics. Group I, host strain c r, has phages NI, N2, mutant N2C, N5, N6, and NI3. N I is virulent, all others temperate for the host. Plaque size is about 1.5 mm., the largest for Neisseri...

Characterization of temperate bacteriophages of Bacillus thuringiensis.

Eight phages lysogenic for Bacillus thuringiensis var. galleriae which elicit the lytic response in B. thuringiensis var. subtoxicus were isolated by induction of the host strains. We have divided these phages into three groups: group I, phages GT-t to GT-5; group II, GT-6 and GT-7; group IlI, GT-8. The following properties of the phages were examined: morphology, host range, serum neutralizati...
