Abstract
Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces, one of the main microorganisms of soils, and their bacteriophages are important inhabitants of soil ecosystems. Important though they are, not much is known about their functional patterns and population dynamics. A question of particular interest, which is still to be understood, is how bacteriophages regulate the population dynamics of Streptomyces and how this regulation affects the soil ecosystem as a whole. Isolation and study of new Streptomyces bacteriophages can help to understand these problems. In this paper, we describe isolation of a new bacteriophage from the soils of the Prioksko- Terrasny Reserve. The analysis of morphology of the new phage allows us to conclude that it belongs to the family Siphoviridae.
