  • Title: Phage typing of Bacillus subtilis and B. thuringiensis.
    Author: Ackermann HW, Azizbekyan RR, Bernier RL, de Barjac H, Saindoux S, Valéro JR, Yu MX.
    Journal: Res Microbiol; 1995 Oct; 146(8):643-57. PubMed ID: 8584788.
    Abstract:
    Phage typing schemes for Bacillus subtilis and B. thuringiensis were constructed using 98 phages and 743 bacterial strains. Most phages were host-species-specific. Phages were classified by electron microscopy. The B. subtilis scheme includes 10 phages and 29 phage types. The B. thuringiensis scheme comprises 8 phages and 25 phage types and can be applied to B. cereus. There is no correlation between H antigen serotypes and phagovars in B. thuringiensis. Characteristics of typing phages are described for identity control.
