Figure 1. Amino acid alignment of representative Dits. Deduced amino acid alignment of the classical Dit from phage p2 and the evolved Dits from representative phages that infect hosts encoding a 6073-like eps gene cluster. Phages that infect strains encoding the typical 6073-like EPS vs. EpsM variant are indicated. In the consensus identity bar, green indicates identity, yellow indicates polymorphism, and red indicates low identity. Dit: distal tail protein; EPS: distal tail protein; EpsM: 6073-like variant.
