Adsorption rate and one-step growth curve of the isolated SBSEC phages. The adsorption rates of phages vB_SbRt-pBovineB21 (a) and vB_SbRt-pBovineS21 (b) decreased to less than 80% at 15Â min. One-step growth curves of phages vB_SbRt-pBovineB21 (c) and vB_SbRt-pBovineS21 (d) show a latent time of 20Â min and burst size of 367.5 and 198.3 PFU/mL, respectively. In all experiments, a triplicate assay was independently undertaken using S. ruminicola KCTC 43,306. The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean.
