Abstract
Several phages of Bacillus thuringiensis distributed in Korea were isolated. The distribution and morphological characteristics of phages were studied. The results are as follows; 1. The isolated phages were highly specific for Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis. They were classified as YM series phages and designated as phage YM-1, YM-2 and YM-3 according to their morphological characteristics. 2. Most of these YM series phages were isolated from compost including domestic animal dung and soil under sewage. 3. The YM-1 phage was similar to Bacillus subtilis
