Abstract excerpt
The temperate bacteriophage phiLC3, isolated from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, has an isometric head and a flexible tail containing 1 major protein and 8 minor proteins. Infection of a permissive L. lactis host strain yields a burst of about 50 phages per infected cell with a latent period of 60 min. A detailed restriction map of the phage chromosome was constructed by using 12 different restriction...
