List of Species Demarcation Criteria in the Genus
All species differ in host range. Phages ϕ29 and GA-1 differ in serological properties and protein molecular weights.
Phage ϕ29, PZA, GA-1, B103, 44AHJD, P68, C, and Cp-1 DNAs differ in DNA sequences, the length of inverted terminal
repeats (6-8 to 236-247 bp). In addition, phages ϕ29 and Cp-1 have opposite directions for transcription of early genes
at the left end of the chromosome.

Similarity with other Taxa
"ϕ-like viruses", adenoviruses, and tectiviruses have proteins linked to DNA ends and protein-primed replication,
and code for type B (E. coli Pol 11) DNA polymerase.
Tailed bacterial viruses resemble Tectiviridae by the presence of a tail-type of structure for DNA injection,
but differ from them by the permanent nature of their tails. Tailed viruses resemble Herpesviridae in morphogenesis
(use of scaffolding proteins, packaging of DNA into preformed shells, maturation of procapsids by proteolytic cleavage and
capsid expansion) and flow of replication. In addition, temperate tailed phages and Herpesviridae are able to establish latent infections.
Derivation of Names
Podo: from Greek pous, podos, "foot", referring to the short tail.
