Xccφ1 characterization: (A) plaques on soft agar of approximately 2–3 mm in diameter. (B) Phage structure as observed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Bar = 100 nm. (C) One step growth curve of phage. (D) Representation of phage activity on Xcc growth. The figure shows the final bacterial plate counts (CFU/mL) after the treatment with the phage and growth on Nutrient Agar. Each value is the mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments. (E) Phage stability in SM buffer at different pH and H2O control. ***, p < 0.001. Statistical analysis was performed with Student’s t-test. Values are the mean ± SD from 3 independent experiments with 3 replicates for each data point.
