2007 journal article

Inhibition of bacteriophage replication in Streptococcus thermophilus by subunit poisoning of primase

MICROBIOLOGY-SGM, 153, 3295–3302.

By: J. Sturino n & T. Klaenhammer n

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Amino Acid Substitution / genetics; Codon, Nonsense; DNA Primase / antagonists & inhibitors; DNA Primase / genetics; Molecular Sequence Data; Mutagenesis, Site-Directed; Protein Structure, Tertiary; Protein Subunits / genetics; Streptococcus Phages / growth & development; Streptococcus thermophilus / virology; Viral Plaque Assay; Virus Replication / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Bacteriophages and microbial interactions; Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies; RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms
TL;DR: This study appears to represent the first use of transdominant proteins to inhibit phages that are disruptive to cultures used in industrial fermentations. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 review

Engineered bacteriophage-defence systems in bioprocessing

[Review of ]. NATURE REVIEWS MICROBIOLOGY, 4(5), 395–404.

By: J. Sturino n & T. Klaenhammer n

MeSH headings : Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / virology; Bacteriophages / physiology; Biotechnology; Dairy Products; Fermentation; Food Microbiology; Genetic Engineering; Genomics; RNA, Antisense; Streptococcus / genetics; Streptococcus / physiology; Streptococcus / virology; Streptococcus Phages / genetics; Streptococcus Phages / physiology; Virus Replication
topics (OpenAlex): Bacteriophages and microbial interactions; Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies; Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology
TL;DR: A set of genetic tools that are useful in the engineering of customized phage-defence systems are described, with special focus on the power of comparative genomics as a means of streamlining target selection, providing more widespread phage protection, and increasing the longevity of these industrially important bacteria in the bioprocessing environment.
