Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Thermophilic viruses (pharges) which infect on bacteria, especially thermophiles are expected to be genetic resource for the production of useful virus's enzymes. In this study, we have tried isolation of thermophilic viruses from soils and determination of their properties. In this study, we succeeded in the isolation of a thermophile Bacillus thermolactis OIT60-2 and a virus (Caudovirales) which was specifically infected with the thermophile, and another thermophilic virus φOC1 (Myoviridae family) which was specifically infected with Pseudomonas tolaasii, which is a pathogene of Shiitake mushroom.
