1 A bacteriophage specific for the leuconostoc strain Pro2 (L. mesenteroides, group V of Garvie) was isolated from whey and buttermilk samples from two factories which use the strain Pro2 in their starters. 2 Morphologically, it belongs to the group B bacteriophages according to Bradley. 3 It is the first bacteriophage of leuconostoc isolated from dairy products. The reasons for the widespread ignorance of phages of leuconostocs are discussed.
