SLP is a lambda‐like bacteriophage specific for Serratia marcescens. strains. Morphological studies have demonstrated that SLP virions present two cross‐bar structures on its tail not described in bacteriophages specific for Enterobacteriaceae. SDS‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of major capsid proteins as well as electron micrographs are reported.
