Virology
The type species, Enterobacteria phage Phieco32, has a relatively rare morphology, a C3 morphotype, with an elongated head (145 x 44 nm) and a short tail (13 nm) with short kinked tail fibers.
These phages are temperate and are capable of generalized transduction with lysogenic conversion, and can have very high burst sizes.
