Comparison in Restriction Profile Analysis of Vibrio furnissi, Vibrio fluvialis, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus Bacteriophage from Sea Product

The bacteriophages lytic for Vibrio furnissi, Vibrio fluvialis and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were isolated from fish gills and shellfish. Nucleic acid of bacteriophages was prepared and restriction endonuclease profile was compared. All isolates contained deoxyribonucleic acid. V. furnissi bacteriophage from fish gills showed 2 bands with Bgl II, 1 with Pst, 3 with Hind III, I with Bam HI and 2 with EcoR 1. V fluvialis phage represented 7 fragments with Bgl II, 1 with Pst, 4 with Hind III, and 2 with EcoR 1. V. parahamolyticus produced 13 sites with Hind III and 4 sites with EcoR 1. The fragment types were varied depending on the phage isolation. All three phages were digested with Hind III and EcoR I with different sizes. V. furnissi phage were digested with 5 different restriction enzymes.
