Bacteriophage P1 Phage P1 was isolated in 1951 by Giuseppe Bertani from the Escherichia coli strain of Lisbonne and Carrere. [1]
Morphology
Phage P1 exhibits the classical bacteriophage morphology with an icosahedral head, 220nm long inflexible tail with a complete tube surrounded by a contractile sheath, baseplate and six kinked tail fibers. The icosahedral head contains the phage genome. A variable part(encoded by an invertible segment of P1 DNA) of the tail fibers(1 to 2nm thick) determines the specificity of P1 adsorption on different hosts.[2]
