Table 1. R. capsulatus phage virion measurements.
Cluster/Phage | Average capsid diameter (nm) | Average tail length (nm) | Number of virions measured |
---|---|---|---|
RcA | 59.7 (3.2) | 132.9 (4.6) | 10 |
RcB | 61.0 (1.8) | 150.2 (6.0) | 21 |
RcC | 66.2 (2.3) | 115.8 (8.5) | 15 |
RcD | 73.3 (3.1) | 204.4 (9.7) | 10 |
RcE | 65.9 (3.1) | 135.8 (18.6) | 6 |
RcF | 80.6 (3.2) | 297.2 (36.4) | 10 |
RcSimone-Håstad | 76.7 (4.6) x 54.1 (3.1) | 184.2 (12.8) | 10 |
RcZahn | 87.1 (4.2) | 296.9 (18.7) | 4 |
Measurements for the capsid diameters and tail lengths represent averages calculated using multiple separate phage particles for multiple representatives of a cluster using ImageJ. For the singletons, RcSimone-Håstad and RcZahn, measurements represent the averages from several independent phage particles. Standard deviations for each average measurement is provided in parentheses.
