“…A number of studies have reported the isolation of lytic bateriophages with a broad host range. Vinod et al (2006) isolated a Vibrio harveyi bacteriophage from shrimp farm water, which was virulent to all 50 strains of V. harveyi tested that were originally isolated from different sources such as seawater, hatchery water, shrimp farm water and sediment. Moreover, some bacteriophages were reported to be lytic to bacteria in more than one genera.…”

“…Karunasagar et al, 2005 showed the efficacy of bacteriophages to control luminous bacterial disease in shrimp hatcheries by reducing the number of V. harveyi counts in water and in larvae and tremendously improved larval survival. A double stranded DNA bacteriophage of Vibrio harveyi was isolated from shrimp farm water which shown efficacy of reducing the luminous bacterial disease to great extent (Vinod et al, 2006). Protective effect (100% survival).…”

“…Phages are generally isolated from environments that are habitats for the respective host bacteria e.g. sewage, soil, water [32]. Therefore, in the present study, five bacteriophages specific to P. aeruginosa PAO were isolated from sewage samples from different locations in Chandigarh, Northern India.…”

The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages with regard to their morphology, growth characteristics, genetic material and structural protein composition. Five phages specific to P. aeruginosa PAO were isolated from sewage samples. Adsorption rates and one step growth curves of these phages were determined and on this basis, phages were found to be distinct entities. DNA of all the phages subjected to restriction enzyme digestion, confirmed the presence of double stranded (ds) DNA as well as heterogeneity among these phages. RAPD PCR analysis of the phage DNA also revealed difference among all the 5 phages as distinct banding patterns were seen in each case. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) however, showed morphological similarity among the phages as all were assigned to family Podoviridae, order Caudovirales on the basis of their head and tail morphologies, with some size variations. Earlier reports revealed that Pseudomonas phages either belonged to family Siphoviridae, Myoviridae or Podoviridae. However, in the present study, we report isolation of P. aeruginosa phages belonging to family Podoviridae with icosahederal heads and short stumpy non-contractile tails first time from India.
