A bacteriophage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was characterized. Bacteriophage PIK was found to adsorb on the cell wall of the host organism. Electron microscopy of the phage PIK revealed that it had a bipyramidal hexagonal prismatic head of 110 nm in diameter, a tail which was 158 nm long and a tail plate of 47 nm width. This paper describes its basic characters, and a quantitative study was made of its adsorption to exponential phase cells of two different strains of P. aeruginosa. PIK was found to contain double stranded DNA and it appears to be virulent towards its host, P. aeruginosa PAO1. It was classified into the group of phages possessing a contractile tail.
