Recombinant bacteriophage LysKB317 endolysin mitigates Lactobacillus infection of corn mash fermentations

Abstract Background Commercial ethanol fermentation facilities traditionally rely on antibiotics for bacterial contamination control. Here we demonstrate an alternative approach to treat contamination using a novel peptidoglycan hydrolase (LysKB317) isolated from a bacteriophage, EcoSau. This endoly...
