The genomes and comparative genomics of Lactobacillus delbrueckii phages.

Lactobacillus delbrueckii phages are a great source of genetic diversity. Here, the genome sequences of Lb. delbrueckii phages LL-Ku, c5 and JCL1032 were analyzed in detail, and the genetic diversity of Lb.

Effective plasmid pX3 transduction in Lactobacillus delbrueckii by bacteriophage LL-H.

High-frequency plasmid transductions in Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis and subsp. bulgaricus strains mediated by pac-type bacteriophages were observed and further investigated.
