Five broad host range lipid-containing bacteriophages PRD1, PR3, PR4, PR5 and L17 isolated from different parts of the world were compared using biological and structural criteria. Virus morphology as well as genome sizes appeared to be identical. However, these viruses could be distinguished by restriction endonuclease mapping and by their structural protein patterns in SDS--gel electrophoresis. The viruses studied thus form a very close group of lipid-containing bacteriophages. We suggest PRD1 as a model organism for this group and that the group be called the PRD1 phage group.
使用生物学和结构标准对从世界各地不同地区分离出的5种宿主范围广泛的含脂质噬菌体PRD1、PR3、PR4、PR5和L17进行了比较。病毒形态以及基因组大小似乎相同。然而，这些病毒可以通过限制性内切酶图谱分析以及SDS凝胶电泳中的结构蛋白模式来区分。因此，所研究的病毒形成了一个非常紧密的含脂质噬菌体群体。我们建议将PRD1作为该群体的模式生物，并将该群体称为PRD1噬菌体群体。
