  • Title: Flagella-specific bacteriophages of Agrobacterium tumefaciens: demonstration of virulence of nonmotile mutants.
    Author: Bradley DE, Douglas CJ, Peschon J.
    Journal: Can J Microbiol; 1984 May; 30(5):676-81. PubMed ID: 6744126.
    Abstract:
    Bacteriophages GS2 and GS6 for Agrobacterium tumefaciens were shown by electron microscopy to adsorb to flagella. This specificity was confirmed by the finding that phage-resistant mutants were nonmotile. Such mutants retained tumor-inducing virulence and ability to attach to plant cells, indicating that motility was not required for these properties. Both phages had contractile tails and appeared similar in the electron microscope.
