Abstrakt: A bacteriophage of Acetobacter suboxydans was isolated and found to correspond to type A phage according to Bradley's classification. The phage contains double stranded DNA. The length of the latency period and burst size could not be precisely determined because of apparent non-synchronous release of phage from single infective cycles. The host range was determined using 24 strains of Acetobacter and Gluconobacter species. Evidence for a probable occurence of host determined restriction and modification was obtained with Acetobacter suboxydans strain ATCC 621. The phage is designated A-1 and it is the first one to be reported for Acetobacter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
