Abstract
AN actinophage (phage A), active against Streptomyces C1V23 obtained from strain S-8001,2, a producer of novobiocin, has been isolated from industrial fermentation broth cultures with scanty or abnormal mycelial growth and no antibiotic production. So far as we know, this is the first time that an actinophage destructive to a Streptomyces strain producing novobiocin has been isolated.
