Description

It was revealed that a bacteriophage provoked the inhibition of lactic acid formation during fermentation of lactic acid beverage. A relatively virulent bacteriophage was isolated and named phage J1. This phage exhibited a very narrow host range; Lactobacillus acidophilus strain Shirota and a related strain isolated from the same source as that of the former strain were exclusive hosts among tested 15 Lactobacilli. Calcium ion was found essential for the multiplication of the phage. The pH value lower than 4.5 suppressed the phage growth. The phage particles were inactivated by treatment at 70°C for 40 min. or 90°C for 5 min. The time course of bacterial growth after infection was analysed. The higher the multiplicity of infection, the faster was the bacterial lysis. The secondary growth being probably deu to the resistant cells was extremely retarded when the multiplicity was low.
