A system (pair) of bacteriophage pAl and the host bacterium Vibrio sp. At was isolated from seawater. The lysate of host cells infected with the phage showed a significant becteriolytic activity with wider lytic action spectra, more susceptibility at alkaline pH(=9) and higher stability of lytic activity in the lysate compared with other phage-induced lysins reported so far.
