Isolation of a Virulent Lactobacillus brevis Phage and Its Application in the Control of Beer Spoilage

Abstract: Beer quality can be compromised by the growth of certain lactobacilli, in particular Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum, and various strategies have been used to control such bacterial spoilage. Biocontrol by means of bacteriophage is a reemerging approach for the suppression of spoilage bacteria in food and beverage matrices. A virulent phage capable of infecting L. brevis beer-spoilage strains was isolated and morphologically assessed by electron microscopy. The myophage SA-C12 was shown to be… Show more

“…Purification of the WRP3 phage by use of a CsCl gradient was performed as previously described (30). Adsorption of CsClpurified phage or freshly produced unpurified lysate to freshly prepared carbon film floated from a freshly coated mica sheet and negative staining with 2% (wt/vol) uranyl acetate were done as described previously (31). The film was picked up with a 400-mesh copper grid (Agar Scientific, Essex, United Kingdom), and specimens were examined with a Tecnai 10 transmission electron microscope (FEI, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) operated at an acceleration voltage of 80 kV.…”
