Kuttervirus
''Kuttervirus'' is a genus of bacteriophages in the family ''Ackermannviridae''. The genus contains 40 species. Characterization The heads of these phages are icosahedral in nature. Their tails are composed of a collared neck (similar in structure to that of a T4 phage), “a sheath surrounding a tail tube or core, a thin base plate, and an adsorption structure” Notably, a series of unique protrusions can be found stemming from the base plate of these organisms. 3 to 4 thick, rounded prongs (located at the bottom of the base plate) and an equal number of thinner, star-like protrusions (attached to the sides of the baseplate via a stalk) have been observed in members of the genus. Members of the genus are similar in terms of genomics. All species in the genus showed above a 75% commonality in protein composition. While “the gene order is strongly conserved in all seven phages…various functional regions are randomly distributed throughout the genome…”. Functional ...
