Abstract

Ø KISR 1, a new bacteriophage of obligate methylotrophic bacteria, was isolated from a local pilot plant. The phage belongs to the Podoviridae family of viruses characterized by a short non‐contractile tail and double‐stranded DNA. The size of phage genome was determined on the basis of electron micrographs and restriction enzyme analysis to be about 46 kb. The host range of Ø KISR 1 is restricted to three very closely related methanol‐utilizing KISR strains belonging to the genus Methylophilus. The phage does not originate from the methylotrophic KISR strains which were tested for lysogeny.

Twenty out of 400 isolates of bacteria mainly from salt marshes and saline soils of Egypt were successfully grown on mannitol N-free medium. The nitrogen-fixing activity was then demonstrated for the twenty isolates in modified STANIER'S medium using the acetylene reduction assay. All of them posses
