Abstract
All actinophages of known morphology are tailed. From 305 phages surveyed, 4 belong to the Myoviridae family, 283 to the Siphoviridae, and 18 to the Podoviridae (two morphotypes each). 58 of 139 actinophages described since 1976 are classified in this report, and the earlier phage descriptions are updated. Nine new species and type viruses are proposed, bringing the total number of actinophage species to 29 and the number of bacterial host genera to 15.Mesh:
