Serological studies of a host range mutant of a lactic streptococcal bacteriophage.
Abstract
A host range mutant was isolated from a bacteriophage that attacked Streptococcus cremoris 114. The mutant was able to adsorb and grow on S. cremoris 266, where the parent phage could not. The mutant phage was unable to adsorb to the original bacterial host, S. cremoris 114. The change in host range was accompanied by an alteration in the neutralization antigen as shown by a change in neutralization rate by an anti-phage serum. Serum-blocking experiments confirmed the difference in neutralization antigen between parent and mutant phages. The two phages nevertheless had similar complement fixation antigens, confirming that one was a mutant derived from the other. A distinction between complement fixation and neutralization antigens, similar to that found for the coliphages and staphylococcal phages, has therefore been demonstrated for two lactic streptococcal phages.
