  1. a – letter in the parenthesis denotes whether bacteriophage is lytic (L), temperate (T) or pseudo-temperate (P).
  2. b – VHML putative coat protein contains abundant peptidase domain (pfam01343) [65].
  3. Therefore, only homologs for which global sequence alignments with the major coat protein were possible were further analyzed.
