Disease relevance of Siphoviridae

Isoelectric points for major capsid and tail proteins of the 12 members of the siphoviridae family included in this study ranged from 4.70 to 5.92, whereas one of the two myoviridae investigated (B054) showed structural proteins in the 6.1 to 6.3 range [1].
At present, the LL-H intron is the only one found in the phages of lactic acid bacteria and the first one to be found in a phage belonging to the most abundant taxonomic group, group B or Siphoviridae [2].

High impact information on Siphoviridae

It belongs to the Siphoviridae family or Bradley morphologic group B, has a narrow host range, and is sensitive to chloroform and resistant to carbon tetrachloride [3].
