Abstract excerpt

This paper reports on the application of the ligase chain reaction (LCR) to the specific detection of variants of the nisin structural gene (nisinA and nisinZ) in nisin producing strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp lactis. The LCR assay was used to screen nisin producing strains to determine which...
