Of 62 Streptococcus thermophilus bacteriophages isolated from various ecological settings, half contain a lysin
gene interrupted by a group IA2 intron. Phage mRNA splicing was demonstrated. Five phages possess a variant
form of the intron resulting... Read More about Widespread distribution of a group I Intron and Its three deletion derivatives in the Lysin Gene of Streptococcus thermophilus Bacteriophages..

The complete sequence for plasmid pLH1 from Lactobacillus helveticus ATCC15009 has been
determined. Analysis of the 19,360-bp primary sequence revealed a putative replication origin and
initiation protein, information that could provide the basis f... Read More about Complete Sequence of Plasmid pLH1 from Lactobacillus helveticus ATCC15009: Analysis Reveals the Presence of Regions Homologous to Other Native Plasmids from the Host Strain.

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...

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... Read More about Molecular ecology and evolution of Streptococcus thermophilus Bacteriophages - a review..

The temperate bacteriophage fSfi21 integrates its DNA into the chromosome of Streptococcus thermophilus strains via
site-specific recombination. Nucleotide sequencing of the attachment sites identified a 40-bp identity region which surprisingly
ove... Read More about The site-specific Integration system of the temperate Streptococcus thermophiles Bacteriophage φSfi21.

The cryptic plasmid pCI305 from Lactococcus Zuctis subsp. lactis UC317 was screened for incompatibility with
a range of cloning vectors and was found to be incompatible with the theta-replicating plasmids pAM401 and
pIL253. In contrast, lactococcal... Read More about Incompatibility properties of the narrow-host-range lactococcal plasmid pCI305..
