Morphological Variants of Coliphage P1 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1970 Lysates of P1 from all hosts tested contained at least three morphological variants with respect to head size. These were termed “big” (P1B), “small” (P1S), and “minute” (P1M). Since successive clonings of plaques isolated on many different hosts failed to change the proportions of the variants, we concluded that the production of variants

The Tum Protein of Coliphage 186 Is an Antirepressor [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 The tum gene of coliphage 186, encoded on a LexA controlled operon, is essential for UV induction of a 186 prophage. Primer extension analysis is used to confirm that Tum is the sole phage function required for prophage induction and that it acts against the maintenance repressor, CI, to relieve repression of the lytic promoters, pR and pB, and thereby

Partial Characterization of Coliphage WPK and a Comparison with Coliphage T3 [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1992 AbstractColiphage WPK was originally isolated from sewage in Kiel, Germany, because its plaque diameter continued to expand for days. Electron microscopy revealed an isometric capsid with dimensions of 54 nm between opposite apices, and a short, noncontractile tail 16 nm long, placing phage WPK into morphogroup C1.

Coliphages as indicators of primary wastewater treatment efficiency by constructed wetlands
Journal of Water and Health, 2023 Constructed wetlands are an efficient and cost-effective system for the treatment of wastewater that can be reused for diverse purposes, including irrigation; however, few studies have determined the efficiency of microbial removal by constructed ...
