Abstract
A system (pair) of bacteriophage pA1 and the host bacterium Vibrio sp. Al was isolated from seawater. The lysate of host cells infected with the phage showed a significant bacteriolytic activity with wider lyti c action spectra, more susceptibility at alkaline pH(=9) and higher st ability of lytic activity in the lysate compared with other phage-indu ced lysins reported so far.
