Popis: Forty of 87 whey and product samples from 32 Oregon dairy plants were found to contain bacteriophage active against one or more of 18 single strain starters. In 23 cases of serious starter failure, 21 were traced to bacteriophage. In another study 65 of 99 samples were found to contain a heat labile material suggestive of bacteriophage. Results indicate that more emphasis should be placed on bacteriophage as a cause of starter failure in dairy plants.
