Influence of GTE7 on production of stable foams by selected mycolata strains under laboratory conditions
| Culture | Foaming scorea |
|
|---|---|---|
| Without phage | In the presence of GTE7a | |
| Gordonia aichiensis (Raic22)b | Stable foam (>15 cm) | Stable foam (>15 cm) |
| Gordonia terrae (Gter34/Ben601/Ben602) | Intermittent stable films | Fragile bubbles (1 cm) |
| Gordonia amicalis (Ben607) | Fragile bubbles (1 cm) | Fragile bubbles (1 cm) |
| Nocardia asteroides (Nast23) | Stable films (>8 cm) | Fragile bubbles (1 cm) |
a
Foaming scores are in accordance with the scale from Petrovski et al. (14).
b
This culture was used as a negative control. GTE7 does not lyse this host.
