Abstract

Temperate phages were effectively induced from presumptive lysogenized cells of 96 strains out of 111 strains of L. garvieae No. 44 strains (phage type B) as the host cell. Similar cultures in distilled water-based TSB did not induce lytic infection in these cells. These temperate phages were also effectively induced by ultraviolet irradiation. All phages isolated were lytic only to L. garvieae No. 44 strain and the lytic nature was different from those of PLgY, PLgW, and PLgS. The virions appeared extracellularly after 1h of induction culture and increased in number until reaching the maximum of $10^6$ PFU/ml after 12h. This phage production was lower than that ($10^{10}$ PFU/ml) of the virulent phage.

TSB 해수배지와 숙주로서 L. garvieae No. 44를 배양조건으로 사용한 경우, L. garvieae 111균주중 용원화되었다고 추정되어진 96균주의 cells에서 temperate Phage가 효과적으로 분리되었다. 하지만 동일한 배양조건에서 보통의 TSB 배지를 사용한 경우에서는 temperate phage는 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 이 temperate phages는 TSB 해수배지와 ultraviolet irradiation를 병용한 경우 역시 효과적으로 분리되었다. 분리된 모든 temperate Phages는 기존의 phage(PLgY, PLgW, PLgS) 의 lytic nature와는 달리 오직 L.garvieae No. 44만을 lysis하였다. 배양후 약 1시간후 phage가 나타났으며 12시간 후 virulent phage의 최고농도($10^{10}$ PFU/ml) 보다 훨씬 낮은 농도인 $10^6$ PFU/ml까지 증가하였다.
