Bacteriophage f1 is closely related to Phage M13

The full sequence is available from NCBI at GenBank: J02448.1

Phage f1, a ssRNA phage, should not be confused with phage F1, a ssDNA phage, but f1 may also refer to a ssDNA phage.

Morphology

Phage f1 is a filamentous (rod-shaped) ssDNA phage. [1]

Genome Organization

6407 bp of ss-DNA, circular

10 genes encoded; generally referred to by Roman numerals as listed on the f1 Gene page.

Life cycle

Adsorption and Injection

f1 is male specific, so it only infects Hfr or F+ strains of E. coli. [1]

DNA replication

Packaging

Lysis
