Electronmicroscopic observations indicate that bacteriophage CVX-5 has an angular head with long spiral tail which is noncontractile, possibly having 2--3 tail fibres attached at the distal part of the tail. This phage is antigenically unrelated to any of the T-phages. Inhibition of phage CVX-5 multiplication by mitomycin C and incorporation of 3H-thymidine into this phage indicate that phage CVX-5 is a DNA phage.
电子显微镜观察表明，噬菌体CVX-5有一个带长螺旋尾的角形头部，该尾是非收缩性的，可能在尾的远端附着有2至3根尾丝。这种噬菌体在抗原性上与任何一种T噬菌体都无关。丝裂霉素C对噬菌体CVX-5增殖的抑制作用以及3H-胸腺嘧啶核苷掺入该噬菌体表明噬菌体CVX-5是一种DNA噬菌体。
