Dynamics of phage release by L. lactis TIFN1 (proΦ1) and L. lactis TIFN5 (proΦ5). a Phage release from cultures (initial OD600 = 0.2) after treatment with MitC (1 μg/ml) and incubated at 20 and 30 °C for 6 h was monitored by visualizing the DNA from the viral progeny throughout the incubation period on agarose gel electrophoresis. b Phage DNA from non-induced cultures and MitC-induced cultures (in duplicate) of the strains TINF1 and TINF5 at the end of the incubation period (6 h) at 30 °C. λphage DNA (50 ng) is used as reference
