Genome sequence of Escherichia coli strain F. Genome sequence of Escherichia coli strain F

The Escherichia coli strain F has been introduced by Lanni in 1958 (Virology 5(3), 481-501) in the field of bacteriophage studies. This strain is described as superior for both as a plating indicator (best plaque definition) and as a host in experiments involving phage adsorption (highest adsorption rate). Although widely used in bacteriophage T5 studies, Escherichia coli strain F has never been sequenced to date.

大肠杆菌F菌株（Escherichia coli strain F）由Lanni于1958年在噬菌体研究领域首次报道，相关研究成果发表于《病毒学（Virology）》5卷3期，页码范围为481-501。该菌株在噬菌斑指示与噬菌体吸附实验宿主两方面均表现优异：作为噬菌斑指示菌株可获得清晰度最佳的噬菌斑，作为吸附实验宿主则拥有目前已知最高的吸附速率。尽管该菌株已被广泛应用于噬菌体T5的相关研究，但截至目前尚未完成测序。
