Role of Temperate Bacteriophage ϕ20617 on Streptococcus thermophilus DSM 20617T Autolysis and Biology

Streptococcus thermophilus DSM 20167T showed autolytic behavior when cultured in lactose- and sucrose-limited conditions. The amount of cell lysis induced was inversely related to the energetic status of the cells, as demonstrated by exposing cells to membrane-uncoupling and glycolysis inhibitors. G...
