Cryo-EM Structure of Siphophage Avs-1 Reveals a Conserved Virion Architecture with a Specialized Tripod-like Tail Tip for Host Recognition
Bacteriophages are increasingly considered viable alternatives to antibiotics for controlling aquaculture pathogens, yet the structural basis of siphophage infection in aquatic bacteria remains largely unexplored. Here, we present the near-atomic-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of Avs-1, a siphophage infe...
