Abstract

About 290 phages of the bacterial genera Leuconostoc, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus were surveyed. The phages belong to the Myoviridae, Siphoviridae, and Podoviridae families and comprise seven basic morphotypes. Fourteen new species are proposed, bringing the number of phage species for gram-positive cocci to 27. The distribution of particular phage types may indicate phylogenetic relationships between host bacteria.

摘要

对约290种属于明串珠菌属、微球菌属、葡萄球菌属和链球菌属的噬菌体进行了调查。这些噬菌体属于肌尾噬菌体科、长尾噬菌体科和短尾噬菌体科，包含七种基本形态类型。提出了14个新物种，使革兰氏阳性球菌的噬菌体物种数量达到27种。特定噬菌体类型的分布可能表明宿主细菌之间的系统发育关系。
