PM3 is an Aeromonas-specific bacteriophage which was isolated and characterized on A. hydrophila strain TF7. Spontaneous mutants resistant to PM3 were non-motile having lost their characteristic monopolar flagellum. In addition, purified flagella inactivated PM3. PM3 is the first filamentous bacteriophage isolated on Aeromonas, the adsorption site for which is the monopolar flagellum.
PM3是一种嗜水气单胞菌特异性噬菌体,它是从嗜水气单胞菌TF7菌株中分离并鉴定出来的。对PM3具有抗性的自发突变体不具有运动性,失去了其特有的单极鞭毛。此外,纯化的鞭毛可使PM3失活。PM3是在气单胞菌上分离出的第一种丝状噬菌体,其吸附位点是单极鞭毛。
