Characterization of bacteriophage KillerTomato. (a) KillerTomato forms round, medium-sized plaques. (b) Siphovirus morphology of KillerTomato with a capsid diameter of approximately 44 nm and a tail length of approximately 108 nm. Image produced by a Zeiss EM900 TEM with an accelerating voltage of 80 kV and uranyl acetate negative staining; 40–50 virions were measured. (c) The genome of KillerTomato contains 25 putative protein-coding genes (portrayed by the boxes with numbers depicting the gene number) on both forward and reverse strands.
