CHARACTERISTICS OF A NEW VIBRIO-BACTERIOPHAGE SYSTEM

PMCID: PMC2147398  PMID: 13211993

Abstract

A vibrio-bacteriophage system isolated from San Francisco Bay mud is described. The vibrio lyses readily in distilled water and appears to be a new species. In contact with the phage it becomes lysogenic and forms large clumps. The phage presents no unique features.
