Abstract |
Dairy fermentation relies on the activity of starter cultures composed primarily of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactococcus and Streptococcus thermophilus strains to produce consistent, high-quality products. Bacteriophages are a constant threat to the industry, often causing slowed or failed fermentation resulting in significant economic losses. To ensure the continuation of reliable fermentation practices, it is important to detect and monitor the phage populations impacting different starter cultures. This has traditionally been done primarily through culture-dependent methods but has since expanded into viral metagenomics. Here we outline a protocol for a targeted virome extraction from a dairy whey sample, followed by subsequent sequencing and phageome analysis of the sample. |
