Characterization of Streptococcus thermophilus host range phage mutants.
To investigate phage-host interactions in Streptococcus thermophilus, a phage-resistant derivative (SMQ-301R) was obtained by challenging a Tn917 library of phage-sensitive strain S. thermophilus SMQ-301 with virulent phage DT1. Mutants of phages DT1 and MD2 capable of infecting SMQ-301 and SMQ-301R were isolated at a frequency of 10(-6). Four host range phage mutants were analyzed further and ...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Streptococcus thermophilus SMQ-301, a Model Strain for Phage-Host Interactions
Streptococcus thermophilus is used by the dairy industry to manufacture yogurt and several cheeses. Using PacBio and Illumina platforms, we sequenced the genome of S. thermophilus SMQ-301, the host of several virulent phages. The genome is composed of 1,861,792 bp and contains 2,037 genes, 67 tRNAs, and 18 rRNAs.
متن کاملCharacterization of host-range mutants of cyanophage N-1.
Fifteen host-range (h) mutants of cyanophage N-1 were characterized with reference to their efficiency of plating, time of appearance, morphology and size of plaques on Nostoc muscorum and its three phage-resistant (Nm 1/N-1, Nm 2/N-1 and Nm 8/N-1) mutants. While phage N-1 did not adsorb to the three phage-resistant mutants, the h mutants differed one from the other in having lower or higher ad...
متن کاملCRISPR Immunity Drives Rapid Phage Genome Evolution in Streptococcus thermophilus
UNLABELLED Many bacteria rely on CRISPR-Cas systems to provide adaptive immunity against phages, predation by which can shape the ecology and functioning of microbial communities. To characterize the impact of CRISPR immunization on phage genome evolution, we performed long-term bacterium-phage (Streptococcus thermophilus-phage 2972) coevolution experiments. We found that in this species, CRISP...
متن کاملPhage response to CRISPR-encoded resistance in Streptococcus thermophilus.
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and their associated genes are linked to a mechanism of acquired resistance against bacteriophages. Bacteria can integrate short stretches of phage-derived sequences (spacers) within CRISPR loci to become phage resistant. In this study, we further characterized the efficiency of CRISPR1 as a phage resistance mechanism in Strepto...
