Twenty-one Brochothrix thermosphacta phages were examined by electron microscopy. They had isometric heads and contractile or long and noncontractile tails, and were grouped into three species belonging to the Myoviridae (species A19) or Siphoviridae (species NF5 and BL3) families of tailed phages. Species A19 has highly characteristic morphological features and resembles well-known phages of Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, indicating phylogenetic relationships between these phages as well as their hosts.
通过电子显微镜检查了21株嗜热栖热丝菌噬菌体。它们具有等轴状头部和收缩性或长且非收缩性的尾部,并被分为三个物种,属于有尾噬菌体的肌尾噬菌体科(A19物种)或长尾噬菌体科(NF5和BL3物种)。A19物种具有高度特征性的形态特征,类似于芽孢杆菌、乳杆菌、葡萄球菌和链球菌的知名噬菌体,表明这些噬菌体与其宿主之间的系统发育关系。
