Abstract excerpt
The diversity of 140 strains related to Lactobacillus plantarum was investigated using a polyphasic approach combining two molecular techniques: randomly amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting (RAPD) and Southern hybridisation with a pyr probe on BglI digests of chromosomal DNA, as well as phenotypic characterization. The RAPD technique allowed us to classify a subset of 60 representative strains into four...
