Abstract excerpt
Five mutants of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris 3107 resistant to phage TP901-1 were obtained after treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate. Two of the mutants were also resistant to phage phiLC3. The remaining three mutants were as sensitive as 3107. Mutants E46 and E100 did not adsorb the two phages. Mutants E119, E121 and E126 adsorbed phage phiLC3 as well as 3107 but phage TP901-1 with significantly reduced...
