摘要
Two taxonomically different bacteriophages have unintentionally been given the same name. Alteromonas phage PM2, isolated in 1968, is the type species of the family Corticoviridae, genus Corticovirus: lipid-containing, icosahedral viruses containing circular dsDNA. Aeromonas phage PM2, isolated in 1990, is a tailed virus, with contractile tail, and presumably a member of the family Myoviridae: phages with contractile tails, containing linear dsDNA. To avoid confusion, the name of Aeromonas phage PM2 is now changed to phage AehPM2.
