Several phages of Bacillus thuringiensis distributed in Korea were isolated. The distribution and morphological characteristics of phages were studied. The results are as follows; 1. The isolated phages were highly specific for Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis. They were classified as YM series phages and designated as phage YM-1, YM-2 and YM-3 according to their morphological characteristics. 2. Most of these YM series phages were isolated from compost including domestic animal dung and soil under sewage. 3. The YM-1 phage was similar to Bacillus subtilis ${phi}25$ in morphology. It has 94nm x 86nm head, contractile tail sheath and base plate with four cornered structure. 4. The YM-2 phage was similar to Bacillus subtilis GA-1 phage in morphology. It had 70nm x 56nm head and tail without contractile tail sheath. 5. The YM-3 phage was similar to Bacillus subtilis ${phi}29$ phage. It had 56nm x 43nm head and tail with distal enlargement.
