The Isolation and Characterization of a Lipopolysaccharide-Specific Bacteriophage Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

The isolation and some properties of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-specific phage isolated against 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 PLS-1 is 4.48 × 10 ml/min. PLS-1 is inactivated by purified LPS from strain 1-1A, showing a PhI value of 1.25 g/ml.
