TABLE 5.

Host range determined by tectivirus spotting^a

^aPhages GIL01 and GIL16 and 21 tectiviruses found in this study were tested for plaque formation in strains devoid of tectivirus-like elements. Gray cells, detection of lysis by turbid plaques; black cells, detection of lysis by clear plaques; white cells, the absence of lysis. Strains above the dashed line are known to be hosts for tectiviruses. Only the results for sensitive strains are shown. For the complete data set, see Table S1 in the supplemental material.

^bThe first column specifies the species of the B. cereus group tested (Bc, B. cereus; Bc-sl, B. cereus sensu lato; BcE, B. cereus emetic pathotype; BcE-C, B. cereus emetic pathotype plasmid pCER270 cured; Bt, B. thuringiensis; Bt-C, B. thuringiensis plasmid cured; Bm, B. mycoides; Bpm, B. pseudomycoides; Bw, B. weihenstephanensis).
