Morphology of phage BP15. (a) Plaque morphology of BP15 after incubation with V. parahaemolyticus BCRC12959 on a double-layer agar plate after overnight culture. Smaller size plaque was approximately 2 mm (red arrow) and the larger was 5 mm in diameter (black arrow). Scale bar equals to 1 cm. (b) Transmission electron micrographs of BP15 with tail. Morphology of phage BP15 as determined by Negative staining and TEM. BP15 had an icosahedral head measuring 69.11 ± 5.38 nm in length and 65.40 ± 6.89 nm in width, with a non-contractile sheathed tail measuring 139.81 ± 14.79 nm (n = 20). Scale bar equals to 200 nm. (c) Release of phage BP15 from the BCRC12959 cell (black arrow). Scale bar equals to 200 nm.
