Lytic systems of lactic acid bacteria and their bacteriophages are reviewed with an emphasis on molecular characterization. Details of enzyme biochemistry and the cloning and analysis of lytic genes are presented, with coverage of lactococcal prolate headed bacteriophages, lactococcal isometric bacteriophages, Lactobacillus bacteriophages and lactococcal autolysins. Some comments on the importance of autolysis in cheese ripening are included and the biotechnological exploitation of cloned and characterized lytic genes is presented.
本文综述了乳酸菌及其噬菌体的溶菌系统，重点是分子特征。文中介绍了酶生物化学的细节以及溶菌基因的克隆与分析，内容涵盖乳球菌长头噬菌体、乳球菌等轴噬菌体、乳酸杆菌噬菌体和乳球菌自溶素。文中还对自溶在奶酪成熟过程中的重要性做了一些评论，并介绍了对已克隆和表征的溶菌基因的生物技术利用。
