Cryo-EM Structure of Siphophage Avs-1 Reveals a Conserved Virion Architecture with a Specialized Tripod-like Tail Tip for Host Recognition
The near-atomic-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of Avs-1, a siphophage infecting the freshwater aquaculture pathogen Aeromonas veronii, is presented, revealing how a largely conserved virion framework is combined with a diversified distal tail apparatus, expanding the structural repertoire of characterize...
