Abstract
DNA encoding phage resistance protein which aborts infection by the phage, designated as AbiE. The DNA which is contained in a Lactococcus lactis deposited as NRRL-B-21443 and described in SEQ ID NO: 1, is incorporated into a bacterium to encode the AbiE and provide phage resistance. Lactococcus and other bacteria encoding the AbiE are useful in industrial fermentations wherein phage are a problem.
