Filamentous phage, fs1, was obtained from Vibrio cholerae O139. The lysogenized strains produced a large amount of fs1 phage in the culture supernatant. This phage was previously reported as novel fimbriae of that organism. The genome of the phage was a 6.5 kb single-stranded DNA. The capsid of fsl consists of a small molecule peptide (about 2.5 kDa).
丝状噬菌体fs1从霍乱弧菌O139中获得。溶原化菌株在培养上清液中产生大量的fs1噬菌体。该噬菌体先前被报道为该生物体的新型菌毛。噬菌体的基因组是一个6.5kb的单链DNA。fsl的衣壳由一个小分子肽(约2.5kDa)组成。
