Complete Genome Sequence of the 936-Type Lactococcal Bacteriophage CaseusJM1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 936-type lytic bacteriophages are the most frequently encountered species infecting lactococcal dairy starters. Infection by members belonging to this species has a significant negative impact on the cheese production process. Here we report the complete genome sequence of the bacteriophage CaseusJM1, a 936-type phage isolated from an Irish dairy plant.

Comparative genomics and functional analysis of the 936 group of lactococcal Siphoviridae phages
Genome sequencing and comparative analysis of bacteriophage collections has greatly enhanced our understanding regarding their prevalence, phage-host interactions as well as the overall biodiversity of their genomes. This knowledge is very relevant to phages infecting Lactococcus lactis, since they constitute a significant risk factor for dairy fermentations. Of the eighty four lactococcal phag...
متن کاملLlama antibodies against a lactococcal protein located at the tip of the phage tail prevent phage infection.
Bacteriophage p2 belongs to the most prevalent lactococcal phage group (936) responsible for considerable losses in industrial production of cheese. Immunization of a llama with bacteriophage p2 led to higher titers of neutralizing heavy-chain antibodies (i.e., devoid of light chains) than of the classical type of immunoglobulins. A panel of p2-specific single-domain antibody fragments was obta...
متن کاملLactococcal 936-type phages and dairy fermentation problems: from detection to evolution and prevention
The so-called 936-type phages are the most frequently encountered lactococcal phage species in dairy fermentations, where they cause slow or even failed fermentations with concomitant economic losses. Several dairy phage population studies, performed in different geographical locations, have detailed their dominance in dairy phage populations, while various phage-resistance mechanisms have been...
متن کاملDifferences in Lactococcal Cell Wall Polysaccharide Structure Are Major Determining Factors in Bacteriophage Sensitivity
ABSTRACT Analysis of the genetic locus encompassing a cell wall polysaccharide (CWPS) biosynthesis operon of eight strains of Lactococcus lactis, identified as belonging to the same CWPS type C genotype, revealed the presence of a variable region among the strains examined. The results allowed the identification of five subgroups of the C type named subtypes C1 to C5. This variable region conta...
متن کاملRestriction/Modification systems and restriction endonucleases are more effective on lactococcal bacteriophages that have emerged recently in the dairy industry.
Recently, eight lytic small isometric-headed bacteriophages were isolated from cheese-manufacturing plants throughout North America. The eight phages were different, but all propagated on one strain, Lactococcus lactis NCK203. On the basis of DNA homology, they were classified in the P335 species. Digestion of their genomes in vitro with restriction enzymes resulted in an unusually high number ...
