The Length of the Filamentous Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacteriophage Pf

Department of Zoology University of Edinburgh, West Mains Road Edinburgh, EH9 3JT, Scotland

The length of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa filamentous bacteriophage Pf was found to be 1915 ± 77 nm, as measured in the electron microscope using the Kleinschmidt spreading technique. Pf is thus the longest filamentous phage so far isolated. Coliphage If, the I-specific filamentous phage, is nearest to it with a length of 1300 nm.
