Abstract

Hoşt range specificities of 60 bacteriophages were determined on 98 lactococcal strain, isolated from raw milk and whey samples. Bacteriophage-host interactions of twenty four bacteriophages which were selected for their wide hoşt range characters and indicator specificities, were analysed. Adsorptions, efficiencies of plaquing, latent periods, rise periods, burst sizes and plaque sizes of these 24 bacteriophages were ranged at the rates of 94.6-99.9 % , 0.96-1.00, 5-15 min, 5-35 min, 44-147 and 0.6-1.5 mm, respectively.
