D. Mora et al., IDENTIFICATION OF PEDIOCOCCUS-ACIDILACTICI AND PEDIOCOCCUS PENTOSACEUS BASED ON 16S-RIBOSOMAL-RNA AND LDHD-GENE-TARGETED MULTIPLEX PCR-ANALYSIS, FEMS microbiology letters, 151(2), 1997, pp. 231-236
A multiplex PCR assay that can readily and unambiguously identify Pedi
ococcus acidilactici and Pediococcus pentosaceus strains was developed
to give an easy-to-read profile based on the amplification of a 16S r
RNA gene fragment, specific for each species, and a D-lactate dehydrog
enase gene fragment specific for Pediococcus acidilactici strains.
