Abstract
The Bacillus cereus specific bacteriophage JBP901 has a broad host range spectrum among B. cereus isolates. JBP901, which belongs to the SPO1 group in the family Myoviridae, lyses 279 of 344 (81%) food and human isolates. B. subtilis (50 food isolates) and B. licheniformis (12 food isolates) were both insenstive to JBP901. JBP901 completely eradicated B. cereus in the fast fermented soybean product cheonggukjang with addition of a divalent cation in a food application study. Divalent and monovalent cations play essential roles in adsorption and post-adsorption phases of JBP901 infection, respectively.
