Abstract
RAPD technique (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) was used for epide miological subtyping of Bacillus licheniformis and other Bacillus spp. Within 46 isolates of B. licheniformis, up to 10 strain types could b e determined when two 10-mer primers were used. RAPD patterns, which w ere found in eight further strains of Bacillus spp., clearly differed from those of B. licheniformis. Thus RAPD technique proved to be a pro mising tool for characterization of Bacillus spp.
