Bacteriophage f2 is an icosahedral, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that infects the bacterium Escherichia coli.[1] It is closely related to bacteriophage MS2 and assigned to the same species.[2]
History
f2 was the first RNA-containing bacteriophage to be isolated, reported in 1961.[3] Tim Loeb and Norton Zinder identified two phages in filtered samples of raw New York City sewage that grew on male (F+) but not on female (F−) E. coli. The first phage f1, produced cloudy plaques, while the second phage, f2, produced clear plaques.[1]
