Figure 2

Morphology of P. acnes phages. All isolated bacteriophages infecting P. acnes have been classified as Siphoviruses, due to their long noncontractile tail, and icosahedral heads (a). They also have a base plate with visible tail fibers (b), adhering to certain host receptors. The figure is adapted from [33].
