Efforts to protect these dairy starter cultures have resulted in a significant body of knowledge about the bacterio-phages, their interactions with the host, and natural phage defense mechanisms that have evolved within bacteria operating under the most dynamic and devastating phage environment faced by industrial fermentations. This paper will overview this area and discuss the novel genetic approaches that are now being investigated in an effort to provide long term phage protection to dairy starter cultures that are used extensively in the industry.}, number={3}, journal={INTERNATIONAL DAIRY JOURNAL}, author={Allison, GE and Klaenhammer, TR}, year={1998}, month={Mar}, pages={207–226} } @article{allison_klaenhammer_1996, title={Functional analysis of the gene encoding immunity to lactacin F, lafI, and its use as a Lactobacillus-specific, food-grade genetic marker}, volume={62}, number={12}, journal={Applied and Environmental Microbiology}, author={Allison, G.

The genetic determinants encoding the lactacin F peptides, LafA and LafX, are organized in a chromosomal operon comprised of genes lafA, lafX, and ORFZ. The lactacin F operon was introduced into Leuconostoc (Lc.) gelidum UAL187-22 which produces leucocin A. Leucocin A, a plasmid-encoded bacteriocin, inhibits E. faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, and other lactic acid bacteria. The culture supernatant of the Leuconostoc transformant containing the lactacin F operon inhibited both lactacin F-and leucocin A-sensitive indicators. Concurrent expression of both bacteriocins did not alter the production of native leucocin A. Additive inhibitory effects due to the presence of both bacteriocins were not observed. An isogenic derivative of UAL187-22, which has lost the leucocin-encoding plasmid, was unable to produce active lactacin F when transformed with the appropriate recombinant plasmid. The ability of Lc. gelidum UAL187-22 to produce lactacin F demonstrates that the export system for leucocin A is capable of producing both bacteriocins simultaneously.}, number={1}, journal={FEMS MICROBIOLOGY LETTERS}, author={ALLISON, GE and AHN, C and STILES, ME and KLAENHAMMER, TR}, year={1995}, month={Aug}, pages={87–93} } @article{allison_fremau_klaenhammer_1994, title={Expansion of bacteriocin activity and host range upon complementation of two peptides encoded within the lactacin F operon}, volume={176}, number={8}, journal={Journal of Bacteriology}, author={Allison, G.
