Abstract excerpt
This report presents the characterization of the first virulent phages infecting Brevibacterium aurantiacum, a bacterial species used during the manufacture of surface-ripened cheeses. These phages were also responsible for flavour and colour defects in surface-ripened cheeses. Sixteen phages (out of 62 isolates) were selected for genome sequencing and comparative analyses. These cos-type phages with a long...
