Isolation and Some Properties of the Phages of B. cereus NRRL 569

Abstract

So far not enough is known about the isolation and virulent phages of B. cereus. Kellenberger1 studied the morphology of the temperate phages of a lysogenic cereus strain. McCloy's phages isolated from the lysogenic B. cereus W strain2 showed anthrax specificity. The phages of Pollock's B. cereus 569 strain was not known until recently3.
