Phage ID

Does anyone know if phage species SP-8 infects Bacillus cereus?  It will
not infect Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilus, or Bacillus
thuringiensis.  Also, the phage I have
isolated is thermally sensitive.  It will not form plaques on a host
lawn of Bacillus cereus if the plates are incubated above 32C.  I am
hitting a brick wall identifying this phage.  If anyone can help, I
would appreciate it.  I have micrographs of it if that will help.
