Abstract:
REP- and ERIC-PCR genome analysis of lactic acid bacteria of genera Lactobacillus and Streptococcus have shown the presence of REP- and ERIC-repetitive sequences with high degree of homology. Amplification products which separation in agar gel results in formation of a specific fingerprint are obtained under REP- and ERIC-PCR. It is shown that REP- and ERIC-specific primers can be used for PCR identification of both enterobacteria and lactic acid bacteria isolated from different ecological niches.
