Pseudomonas virus gh1 (Bacteriophage gh-1) is a bacteriophage capable of infecting susceptible strains of Pseudomonas putida. [1] It is a member of family Podoviridae, subfamily Autographivirinae. [2] It was first isolated in 1966 from a sample taken from the aeration tank at a sewage plant in East Lansing, Michigan.[ citation needed]
Sedimentation analysis indicates that gh-1 carries its genetic payload in the form of a 37,359 bp linear strand of dsDNA, [3] [4] inside an icosahedronal capsid 50 nm in diameter. [1]
One-step growth experiments indicate that the latent period is approximately 21 min, with a burst size of 103. [1]
It has been shown that this phage group requires an intact O-antigen on its host's outer membrane in order to successfully replicate and it is thus likely that lipopolysaccharide acts as the phage receptor. [3]
