A phage infective for Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus was isolated. Electron microscopy revealed that it is tail-less, has a hexagonal appearance and two distinct capsomere layers, and is 60 to 70 nm in size. The nucleic acid appears to be single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid. This is the first report of the isolation of a phage infective for B. bacteriovorus.
