“…In this experiment, the K phage of P. aeruginosa was found to have a rod-shaped head with a long tail. All phages of P. aeruginosa previously reported were of the usual morphology (Schultz et al, 1948;Terada, 1956;Lovas et al, 1957).…”

“…Chapman et al (1951) examined a bacteriophage of Erwinia carotovora and described a diverse array of particles including not only the familiar type but also rod-shaped particles. A phage of Shigella sonnei was reported by Terada (1956) to have a curious morphology-a rod-shaped body with a crest-like head and a tail. Recently, a rod-shaped bacteriophage of Escherichia coli with a "bob-tail" was reported by Bystricky and Sev6ovi6ovA (1957).…”

During studies of bacteriophages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa a bacteriophage with a rodshaped head was discovered. This paper will report the morphological and some biological properties of this phage. MATERIALS AND METHODS P. aeruginosa (Kitasato strain) was used as host. Forty-three strains of P. aeruginosa from the culture collection of the Department of Bacteriology, School of Medicine, Kyushu University were used for determination of the lytic spectrum of the phage. A phage of P. aeruginosa with rod-shaped head was designated as K. The host cells were cultivated in nutrient broth with aeration for 3 hr. At this time the phage suspension was added to the culture and incubation with aeration was continued for an additional 3 hr. The lysate contained approximately 108 to 1010 phage particles per ml.
