Remarks
Propagation is better on *B. thuringiensis* 2 HER 1230.
If troubles with 1414, mobilize the strain.
Morphologically identical with noncultivated *B. megaterium* phage.
Tail has 3 long, thick, wavy fibers and is morphologically identical with phage tails produced by *C. saccharoperbutylacetonium* (nonpublished).
One of the largest phages known, apparently temperate.
Typing phage for *B. cereus*.
Propagate not more than 6h
