Bacteriophage infection is one of potential threats in bacterial fermentations. In the present study, a phage specially infecting Klebsiella pneumoniae was characterized and its effect on 1,3-propanediol fermentation was investigated. It belongs to the Siphoviridae family with an icosahedral head of 64±2nm in diameter and a long tail of 158±3nm and has a double-stranded DNA of about 45kbp. The infection kinetics and stability of phage phiKpS2 were also determined. Then, phage infection at different growth phases were carried out in laboratory to evaluate its impact for PDO production. Different sluggish fermentations depending on the infection time at different cell growth phases were observed. Fermentation failed to recover even adding new medium when phage infected at 4h in fed-batch fermentation. However, the maximum biomass increased 25.8% after about 8h of lag time when phage infected at 0h, which led to the increase of PDO production from 69.7±2.1g/L to 85.2±0.8g/L. In addition, pH fluctuations were also observed along with cells lysis and growth recovery.
