We determined the host range of “Acetobacter bacteriophage A-l.” Only Gluconobacter strains were susceptible to this phage; no Acetobacter strain was susceptible. Thus, the correct name of the phage should be Gluconobacter phage A-l. Susceptibility to this phage appears to be a general characteristic of the members of the genus Gluconobacter. The single species of the genus Gluconobacter oxydans contains four subspecies, and susceptibility to the phage was not confined to strains of any particular subspecies.
