B.YR 1976 T1 The Isolation and Characterization of a Lipopolysaccharide-Specific Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacteriophage JF Journal of General Virology, VO 33 IS 1 SP 99 OP 106 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-33-1-99 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2099, AB SUMMARY The isolation and some properties of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-specific phage isolated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa is reported. The phage, designated ϕPLS-1, is a Bradley A type phage with a head diameter of 70 nm and a contractile tail 120 nm long. The average adsorption rate constant for ϕPLS-1 is 4.48 × 10−9 ml/min. ϕPLS-1 is inactivated by purified LPS from P. aeruginosa strain 1-1A, showing a PhI50 value of 1.25 µg/ml., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-33-1-99
