A series of reactions between phages, sensitive hosts, and transconjugants where the sensitivity of small isometric-, large isometric-, and prolate-headed phages to pTR2030-induced phage resistance was evaluated inStreptococcus lactis andStreptococcus cremoris strains. Phage-resistant transconjugants were constructed in the desired host by conjugal transfer of lactose-fermenting ability (Lac+ , pTR1040) and phage resistance (Hsp+ , pTR2030) fromS. lactis TEK1.S. lactis andS. cremoris transconjugants harboring pTR2030 were resistant to all small isometric-headed phages examined. In contrast, prolate- and large isometric-headed phages were either not inhibited in the pTR2030 transconjugants or exhibited a reduction in plaque size without a reduction in the efficiency of plaquing. Small isometric-headed phages subject to pTR2030 induced inhibition shared no significant DNA homology with pTR2030, suggesting that phage immunity genes are not harbored on the plasmid or responsible for resistance. The general effectiveness of pTR2030 against small isometric-headed phages was highly significant since these are the phages which have been isolated most commonly from dairy fermentation plants.
