Abstract
This is the first report on the isolation of Rhodococcus aetherivorans-specific bacteriophages and of applicability of such invertebrates as Hyalophora cecropia and Eisenia fetida as objects for screening the phages capable of growth on Rhodococcus species. Some of the isolated phages were capable of reproduction on R. ruber and R. qingshengii. An efficient procedure for bacteriophage reproduction in the liquid culture of R. aetherivorans was developed. The revealed bacteriophages may be used for development of efficient genetic tools for Rhodococcus strains, including the industrially significant ones.
