Abstract

|
The extremely halophilic archaebacterium Haloarcular sp. EH-1 was isolated from solar salts. Halophages found in Haloarcular sp. EH-1 were isolated from fermented anchovy sauce. Halophages were isolated from fermented anchovy sauce using Haloarcular sp. EH-1 as a host bacterium. The isolated halophage produced 0.5～1.0 ㎜ in diameter clear plaques. The halophage consists of an symmetrical head, measuring 68 ㎚ in diameter, and a contractile tail, 100 ㎚ long and base plates were observed. Total size of phage DNA genome obtained 20 Kbp and its sequence homology was 52.87% with H. Salinarium.
