Bacteriophages GS2 and GS6 for Agrobacterium tumefaciens were shown by electron microscopy to adsorb to flagella. This specificity was confirmed by the finding that phage-resistant mutants were nonmotile. Such mutants retained tumor-inducing virulence and ability to attach to plant cells, indicating that motility was not required for these properties. Both phages had contractile tails and appeared similar in the electron microscope.
通过电子显微镜观察发现，用于根癌土壤杆菌的噬菌体GS2和GS6吸附于鞭毛。噬菌体抗性突变体不具有运动性，这一发现证实了这种特异性。此类突变体保留了诱导肿瘤的毒性以及附着于植物细胞的能力，这表明这些特性并不需要运动性。两种噬菌体都有收缩性尾部，在电子显微镜下看起来相似。
