Prophage-Cured Derivatives of Streptococcus lactis and Streptococcus cremoris

Michael J Gasson 1, F Lyndon Davies 1
PMCID: PMC291696  PMID: 16345661

Abstract

Prophage curing was achieved in Streptococcus lactis and Streptococcus cremoris, and the cured derivatives were shown to be indicators for their temperate bacteriophages. Relysogenization of these cured derivatives completed the first formal demonstration of the lysogenic state in lactic streptococci.
