Reference
Schnabel, H., W. Zillig, M. Pfäffle, R. Schnabel, H. Michel, and H. Delius. 1982. *Halobacterium halobium* phage ?H. EMBO J. 1:87-92.
Remarks
Propagation is easier if the NaCl content is lowered to 20%.
The first isolate of ?H was a mixture of variants which could be isolated by cloning of single plaques.
Most of the subsequent work was done with the major (90%) of single plaques.
