Abstract
⺠A new methodology of making pure bacteriophage preparation using prophage free hosts is proposed. ⺠The role of phage endolysin in dictating host range of a phage is demonstrated. ⺠Release of prophages during phage multiplication in a prophage containing host is highlighted. ⺠We report efficiency of phage endolysin to play a role in effective phage propagation. ⺠Strength of endolysin for phage release in identification of a potent phage is speculated.
