Abstract
Two temperate bacteriophages, designated PBL0.5 and PBL2, were obtained from two independently isolated strains of Bacillus larvae. Clear plaque mutants of both phages were isolated and characterized. By a number of different criteria the phages were identical. These phages are not ideal for prevention of American foulbrood of honey bees, because they are temperate phages. They are potentially useful for epidemiological studies.
