Attachment of a Long-Tailed Rhizobium Bacteriophage to the Pili of Its Host

RESUMO

Bacterial strain 16-12 was isolated from the root nodules of lupines and was found to be mitomycin C-inducible for the production of a bacteriophage (“16-12-1”) with a long noncontractile tail. The phage was found to attach with a fork-like terminal tail structure to the pili of strain 16-12. In addition, it was also found adsorbed to the bacterial cell poles. It is suggested that phage 16-12-1 may be pilus dependent.
