Abstract
Twenty-one phages of Listeria monocytogenes (including 15 typing phages) have isometric heads and long, non-contractile tails. They are differentiated by tail length and belong to three morphological types. Type I resembles certain viruses of coryneform bacteria. In addition to normal phages, some lysates contain abnormally long tails with or without empty heads or terminal spikes, small heads resembling proheads of phage lambda, and helical filaments. Vingt et un phages tempérés de Listeria monocytogenes dont 15 de lysotypie présentent des têtes isométriques et des queues longues et non contractiles. Ils appartiennent à trois types morphologiques différenciés par la longueur de la queue. Certains lysats contiennent des queues phagiques de longueur anormale, des têtes petites et des filaments spiralés.
