Eighteen bacteriophages lytic for Vibrio parahaemolyticus were isolated from seawater, and their ultrastructure was examined by electron microscopy. Based on the phage morphology, they were classified in four groups. Group I phages consisted of a hexagonal head and a tail with a contractile sheath. All the phages of the other three groups had a relatively long, noncontractile tail, but there were differences in the head structure among these phages. The phages of groups II and III had a hexagonal head and an elongated polyhedral head, respectively. Group IV phages exhibited a unique hexagonal head with knoblike projections. There appeared to be no correlation between the O and K serotypes of V. parahaemolyticus strains and the host ranges of the phages. The phages had varying sensitivities to heat and organic solvents.
从海水中分离出18株对副溶血性弧菌有裂解作用的噬菌体，并通过电子显微镜检查了它们的超微结构。根据噬菌体形态，将它们分为四组。第一组噬菌体由六边形头部和带有收缩鞘的尾部组成。其他三组的所有噬菌体都有相对较长的非收缩性尾部，但这些噬菌体的头部结构存在差异。第二组和第三组的噬菌体分别有六边形头部和拉长的多面体头部。第四组噬菌体呈现出带有瘤状突起的独特六边形头部。副溶血性弧菌菌株的O和K血清型与噬菌体的宿主范围之间似乎没有相关性。这些噬菌体对热和有机溶剂的敏感性各不相同。
