Isolation of <i>Ralstonia solanacearum</i>-infecting bacteriophages from tomato fields in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and their experimental use as biocontrol agents

Abstract

As exemplified by J2, the phages isolated in this study represent valuable resources with potential uses in biocontrol of bacterial wilt. A rare jumbo phage J6 served as a valuable subject to understand and utilize this new group of phages.
