Phages of L. brevis have been described, but very limited data is available regarding temperate phages of L. brevis. Temperate phages may exert benefits to the host, while they may also be employed to combat beer spoilage. The current study reports on the incidence of prophage sequences present in nineteen distinct L. brevis genomes. Prophage induction was evaluated using mitomycin C exposure followed by genome targeted-PCR, electron microscopy and structural proteome analysis. The morphological and genome sequence analyses revealed significant diversity among L. brevis prophages, which appear to be dominated by members of the Myoviridae phage family. Based on this analysis, we propose a classification of L. brevis phages into five groups. | Keywords: | lactic acid bacteria; beer spoilage; bacteriophage; lysogeny; prophage; genomic analysis; induction; Myoviridae;lactic acid bacteria; beer spoilage; bacteriophage; lysogeny; prophage; genomic analysis; induction; Myoviridae | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/29991 | e-ISSN: | 1664-302X | DOI: | 10.3389/fmicb.2019.02396 | ISI #: | 000491969200001 | Rights: | 2019 Feyereisen, Mahony, Neve, Franz, Noben, O’Sullivan, Boer and van Sinderen.
