TABLE 2.
Head and tail dimensions of isolated E. faecalis phages
| Phage | Mean ± SDa |
|
|---|---|---|
| Head diam (nm) | Tail length (nm) | |
| SHEF2 | 42.34 ± 1.0 | 231 ± 1.3 |
| SHEF4 | 45.60 ± 1.0 | 199.4 ± 0.8 |
| SHEF5 | 44.32 ± 0.9 | 240.5 ± 1.5 |
| SHEF6 | 45.81 ± 0.4 | 250.6 ± 3.0 |
| SHEF7 | 41 ± 0.1 | 230 ± 2.4 |
At least three phage particles were measured for each phage type, and the mean values were used to calculate the dimensions.
