A Giant Phage Taillike Particle of Clostridium Saccharoperbutylacetonicum ATCC 13564
A unique phage taillike particle from Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum ATCC13564 has been studied by electron microscopy using negative staining. It was observed in the lysate of phage HM 3 and in the mitomycin C- induced lysate with an inducible phage taillike bacteriocin, clostocin O.

An investigation into the adsorption of cyanophages to their cyanobacterial hosts [PDF]
Cyanophages, viruses that infect cyanobacteria, are known to be abundant throughout the world’s oceans. They are important because of the ecological significance of their hosts which are prominent primary producers.
