Sentence examples for morphology a phage from inspiring English sources

We showed that these proteins are crucial to define the type of morphology a phage likely adopts.

Based on this morphology, a number of other phages from the literature can be classified as probable viunalikeviruses (Table  1; Supplementary Figure 1).

In a extensive review of morphology of phage particles carried out by Ackermann [32] the closest-related Xanthomonas genus have at least 35 types of tailed phages, where 25 (72%), 9 (25%) and 1 (3%) and are from Siphoviridae, Myoviridae and Podoviridae families respectively.

Thus, this clearly shows that classification of phages solely based on morphology is not sufficient to determine to which family a phage should be assigned, but that genomic data is also necessary.
