When we think of the major clusters of phages, we think of them in certain categories. Myophages, typically have strait tails and a sophisticated two layered tail that contracts a bit like a syringe. Siphophages, have long groovy tails that don't contract, breaking open bacterial cells through alternate, and still somewhat mysterious means. But as is always is the case, nature cares little for our arbitrary ideas of what a thing is, or ought to be. Introducing another hybrid design, phage sv771/Milano, the unexpectedly curvy Myophages.
Phage Sv771 and Phage Milano infect species of the Genus Agrobacterium, most famous for the plant pathogenic speicies Tumefaciens, which causes plant tumor growth. These phages bind to the host's swimming machinery (the flagellum), hitching a ride to the cell surface to enact their treachery. While there are several interesting traits in regards to these phages, the most striking is of course their curved tail. Just imagine a sausage dog, that curves its body to one side. Its that kind of odd in Myophage world! The universe doesn't like boxes i suppose!
Why are their tails curved? No one knows! An exciting discovery for the future.
