Figure 1

Morphology and biological properties of phage pVa-21. (a) Transmission electron micrograph of pVa-21. Scale bar = 100 nm. (b) Plaque morphology of phage pVa-21. The arrow represent plaques. (c) Adsorption assays of pVa-21 with V. alginolyticus strain rm-8402. (d) One-step growth curve of pVa-21 in culture broth of V. alginolyticus strain rm-8402. (e) Planktonic cell lysis kinetics of pVa-21 at an MOI of 0.1, 1, and 10 on V. alginolyticus strain rm-8402. (f) Thermal stability of pVa-21. Phages were incubated for 1 h under different temperatures. (g) pH stability of pVa-21. Phages were incubated for 1 h under different pH values. (f,g) Phage ability to form plaques on host lawns was determined. Relative to control, changes in PFUs were calculated. The results shown in (c–g) represent the mean ± standard deviation of triplicate experiments.
