Bacteriophages of Lactococcus lactis ssp. diacetylactis isolated in Pakistan and Germany were compared in respect of protein profile and restriction analysis. SDS‐PAGE profile analysis shows similarities amongst the local isolates that have different protein profile when compared with phages from other regions. No marked difference was observed in their DNA homology. The data suggested that the bacteriophages isolated from Pakistan are different from the bacteriophages that have already been characterised from the other parts of the world.
