Abstract excerpt
AIMS: An efficient approach for generation of bacteriophage-insensitive mutants (BIMs) of Streptococcus thermophilus starters was described in our laboratory [Mills et al. (2007) J Microbiol Methods70, 159-164]. The aim of this study was to analyse the phage resistance mechanism responsible for BIM formation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Three clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) regions have...
