The majority of tsp genes in Agtrevirus phages encode unique receptor-binding domains. (A) Alignment of the tsp gene cluster located between the Virulence associated gene (VriC) and baseplate wedge genes (grey) of all available Agtrevirus phages showed high diversity of the tsp genes among the phages. Colours; Turkish: TSP1, purple: TSP2, yellow: TSP3, green: TSP4, and grey: hypothetical proteins, baseplate wedge, and VriC. B) TEM photo of AV101 showing virion morphology similar to other Agtrevirus phages. The arrows points to the distinctive star-like TSP complex. (C) All tsp1, tsp2, tsp3, and tsp4 genes were individually aligned and the number of dissimilar genes of Agtrevirus tsp genes were visualized plotted.
