Correlation between polymerase chain reaction analysis of the histidine biosynthesis operon, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis and phenotypic characterization of dairy Lactococcus isolates.

Abstract excerpt

A collection of 32 lactococcal strains isolated from raw milk in the Camembert RDO (registered designation of origin) area were phenotypically and genotypically characterized. As expected for environmental isolates, all strains had a Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis phenotype. The strains were then genotypically identified by the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique, using reference strains of...
