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.
