| Abstract: | Of 33 phages isolated from various shrimp farms in Kerala, India, six were
segregated to have broad spectrum lytic efficiency towards 87 isolates of Vibrio
harveyi with cross-infecting potential to a few other important aquaculture
pathogens. They were further tested on beneficial aquaculture micro-organisms
such as probiotics and nitrifying bacterial consortia and proved to be
noninfective. Morphological characterization by transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) and molecular characterization by RAPD and SDS-PAGE
proved them distinct and positioned under Caudovirales belonging to
Myoviridae and Siphoviridae |
