A short noncoding viral DNA element showing characteristics of a replication origin confers Bacteriophage resistance to Streptococcus thermophiles. (1998)
Journal Article
Foley, S., Lucchini, S., Zwahlen, M., & Brüssow, H. (1998). A short noncoding viral DNA element showing characteristics of a replication origin confers Bacteriophage resistance to Streptococcus thermophiles. Virology, 250(2), 377-387. https://doi.org/10.

A 302-bp noncoding DNA fragment from the DNA replication module of phage φSfi21 was shown to protect theStreptococcus thermophilusstrainSfi1 from infection by 17 of 25 phages. The phage-inhibitory DNA possesses two determinants, each of which individ...

Molecular ecology and evolution of Streptococcus thermophilus Bacteriophages - a review. (1998)
Journal Article

Bacteriophages attacking Streptococcus thermophilus, a lactic acid bacterium used in milk fermentation, are a threat to the dairy industry. These small isometric-headed phages possess double-stranded DNA genomes of 31 to 45 kb. Yoghurt-derived phag...
