Abstract

This study describes the isolation of a phage, using mitomycin C and u.v. light, from each of four strains (HD67, HD130, HD228 and HD248) of Bacillus thuringiensis H-serotype 7 (var. aizawai). It also describes the isolation of two indicator strains (12.13 and HD102) for these phages (phi HD67, phi HD130, phi HD228 and phi HD248) and the ideal conditions, using these indicator strains, for maximum phage production.
