 note = {The authors carried out the isolation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteriophages from
sea water and determined the character of them. The isolated phages are detected
in coastal sea water with terrestrial contamination. It does not seem that they are
truly of marine origin. The phages vary widely in particle structure, host range,
and physiological character, and are divided into four groups. The representative
phage in each of the groups are Vp15P, Vp17P, Vp25P, and Vp33P. The phage particles of Vp15P and Vp25P consist of a head with a hexagonal outline and powerful
tail with a contractile sheath. Vp17P and Vp33P have a head shaped a polyhedron,
and a comparatively long, thin, and non-contracting tail. The tail of Vp17P is straight, and terminates in an end plate with shor lobate projections. The tail of Vp33P
is considerably curved. According to the lytic patterns of the representative phages,
it is possible to extend the classification of strains of V. parahaemolyticus by means
of phage typing.},
