Abstract

ABSTRACT To investigate phage-host interactions in Streptococcus thermophilus , a phage-resistant derivative (SMQ-301R) was obtained by challenging a Tn 917 library of phage-sensitive strain S. thermophilus SMQ-301 with virulent phage DT1. Mutants of phages DT1 and MD2 capable of infecting SMQ-301 and SMQ-301R were isolated at a frequency of 10 −6 . Four host range phage mutants were analyzed further and compared to the two wild-type phages. Altogether, three genes ( orf15 , orf17 , and orf18 ) contained point mutations leading to amino acid substitutions and were responsible for the expanded host range. These three proteins were also identified in both phages by N-terminal sequencing and/or matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The results suggest that at least three phage structural proteins may be involved in phage-host interactions in S. thermophilus .
