Abstract:
Bacteriophage Insensitive Mutants (BIMs) of three  Streptococcus thermophilus  parent strains were generated and characterized for phage sensitivity, sedimentation rate, cell chain length, phage adsorption and CRISPR loci alterations. Several BIMs showed an altered sedimentation phenotype as well as an increase cell chain length, reduced phage sensitivity, reduced phage adsorption and 100% identity in three CRISPR loci. The results show that the derived BIMs have become phage-resistant through a mechanism other than CRISPR.

Claim (Index 15):
Process for the production of a dairy product such as a fermented milk product or cheese comprising the step of adding a bacteriophage insensitive mutant of a bacteriophage sensitive  Streptococcus thermophilus  parent strain as defined in  claim 8 , or a starter culture composition to a medium to be fermented.
