Plasmid pND852 (56 kb) encodes nisin resistance and was isolated from Lactococcus lactis ssp lactis (L. lactis) M138 by conjugation to L. lactis LM0230. It conferred strong resistance to the isometric-headed phage phi 712 and partial resistance to the prolate-headed phage phi c2. A 2.6 kb HpaII fragment encoding phage resistance was cloned into the streptococcal/Bacillus hybrid vector pGB301 to generate pND817. The mechanism of phage resistance encoded by pND817 involved abortive infection and t ...[more]
