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
