Results of the phage adsorption test. A Phage adsorption rate on bacteria. The variances among groups are delineated by comparative letter markers. Any two groups that exhibit no identical lowercase letters are considered significantly differences (P < 0.0001). B–E TEM images of sm140, Rsm1, sm140∆rfbD and Rsm1-pYA3334-rfbD after co-incubation with the phage for 7 min.
