  • Title: Bacteriophage PhiX174's ecological niche and the flexibility of its Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide receptor.
    Author: Michel A, Clermont O, Denamur E, Tenaillon O.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2010 Nov; 76(21):7310-3. PubMed ID: 20833781.
    Abstract:
    To determine bacteriophage PhiX174's ecological niche, 783 Escherichia coli isolates were screened for susceptibility. Sensitive strains are diverse regarding their phylogenies and core lipopolysaccharides (LPS), but all have rough phenotypes. Further analysis of E. coli K-12 LPS mutants revealed that PhiX174 can use a wide diversity of LPS structures to initiate its infectious process.
