Abstract:Information on the ecology of the "phage-bacterial host" system is given. The interaction of cultures of lactococci from the collection of the Siberian Research Institute of Cheese with associations of phages was investigated. Infection of sensitive cells with bacteriophage led to cell lysis, which was manifested by negative colonies on the lawn of a lactococcal culture. Characteristics of the biological properties of bacteriophages in the composition of phage associations are given (lytic activity, spectrum o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
