RESUMO
Bacteriophages isolated from culture supernatants of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and from sewage were identified. The DNA from each phage was isolated and digested with the restriction endonuclease EcoRI. Eight isolates were determined to be different, with two phage isolates from sewage having restriction patterns identical to two phages from culture supernatants. The sizes of the phage DNA ranged from 24 to49 kilobases for isolates from sewage and from 39 to 52.5 kilobases for the isolates from culture supernatants. Buoyant densities of phage particles in CsCl varied from 1.498 to 1.507 g/cm3 for isolates from sewage and from 1.506 to 1.516 g/cm3 for isolates from culture supernatants. Electron microscopy revealed four morphological types. Based on plaque-forming ability of culture supernatants, 31 out of 47 strains of P. syringae are probably lysogenic.
