Polyphasic study of the genetic diversity of lactobacilli associated with 'Almagro' eggplants spontaneous fermentation, based on combined numerical analysis of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: The goal of this study was to assess the genetic diversity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from the complex natural ecosystem present in the spontaneous fermentation of 'Almagro' eggplants by a polyphasic approach based on molecular techniques. METHODS AND RESULTS: Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were applied to 149 Lactobacillus isolates obtained from...
