Abstract in English
Bacteriophages specific for Bacillus megaterium were isolated and were found to
be common in soil of the Experimental Farm of Fac. Agric., Minia Univ., Egypt.
A bacteriophage resistant mutant of B. megaterium was successfully isolated.
The efficiency of the isolated mutant, free and immobilized cells of B. megaterium
in dissolving insoluble phosphate and their susceptibility to phages were studied in
pure liquid cultures (in vitro) and under cultivated soil conditions (in vivo).
