Abstract
THE study of phages from the point of view of plant pathology has practical applications besides being of theoretical interest. By the use of specific phages the detection of plant pathogenic bacteria was possible in infected seeds and tissues. Furthermore, using phages, slight biological differences were demonstrated between pathogenes otherwise hardly distinguishable from each other. Therefore, the detection and isolation of new specific phages has considerable interest. The present communication will deal with the isolation of some new phages for Xanthomonas spp.
