Green Flavor Defect in Lactic Starter Cultures

Antibiotics and Lactic Acid Starter Cultures " 2

The problem of antibiotics in milk was brought to light in 1948 by Kastli (1948), who was the first to report specifically that milk from a quarter of an udder treated with penicillin would impair the manufacture of butter and cheese. He found that from 0.1 to 1.0 unit of penicillin per ml of milk was sufficient to inhibit the growth of the widely used starter cultures, Streptococcus cremoris a...

Characterization of a Leuconostoc bacteriophage infecting flavor producers of cheese starter cultures.

Dairy siphovirus φLmd1, which infects starter culture isolate Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum A1, showed resistance to pasteurization and was able to grow on 3 of the 4 commercial starter cultures tested. Its 26,201-bp genome was similar to that of Leuconostoc phage of vegetable origin but not to those of dairy phages infecting Lactococcus.
