Bacteriophage taxonomy in 1987
Microbiol Sci.
1987 Jul.
Abstract
Ten families and eight genera have been approved by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) and include at least 230 species. A new basic phage group has been found in Archaebacteria. Over 2700 phages are tailed; about 130 are cubic, filamentous or pleomorphic. Their distribution provides insights into phage origin.
