| Abstract: | Filamentous phage, fs1, was obtained from Vibrio cholerae O139. The lysogenized strains produced a large amount of fs1 phage in the culture supernatant. This phage was previously reported as novel fimbriae of that organism. The genome of the phage was a 6.5 kb single-stranded DNA. The capsid of fs1 consists of a small molecule peptide (about 2.5 kDa). |
