title: [Virulent and temperate phages of Bacillus licheniformis, the producer of bacitracin antibiotic].
abstract: Virulent and temperate bacterial phages were isolated from the cultural broth of Bacillus licheniformis obtained under the industrial conditions when synthesis of the antibiotic bacitracin was interfered with. The following properties of the phages were studied: the fine structure, the morphology of negative colonies, the spectrum of lytic action, the rate of adsorption, the individual growth cycle, as well as the lysogenic state of certain strains of Bac. licheniformis. Some phages were serologically related and morphologically identical whereas others differed sharply in their morphology and antigenic properties.
