abstract：:Phage H188, a novel Vibrio kanaloae phage, was isolated from the surface water of Yellow Sea. Morphological analysis by transmission electron microscopy reveals that it belongs to the family Myoviridae. Present result suggests that the phage is stable at pH between 4.0 and 12.0. No significant difference in phage tite...
