Molecular, physiological and phylogenetic traits of Lactococcus 936-type phages from distinct dairy environments
Abstract Bacteriophage infection of Lactococcus species can cause serious disruption of dairy fermentation processes. The most common isolates from the dairy environment are Siphoviridae lytic 936-type phages. To gain specific knowledge about this group of phages in Polish dairies, we examined 90 is...
