Biological characterisation of ΦcrAss002. a Transmission electron micrograph, generated from ΦcrAss002 enriched lysate, stained with uranyl acetate. Micrographs show podovirus-like virions with a diameter of ~77 nm and a simple tail structure. Scale bars represent 100 nm. b In vitro propagation of ΦcrAss002 over 11 days. Titre quantification was performed using qPCR. c Investigation of the ability of ΦcrAss002 to propagate on commercial B. xylanisolvens DSM18836 and the only other confirmed crAss-like phage host to date, B. intestinalis 919/174 via liquid propagation over 5 days. Error bars indicate standard deviation (n = 3)
