Abstract:
This study reports the development and optimization of a real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qLAMP) method for rapid detection of Acetobacter aceti strain in red wine samples. Our results showed that the primers and probes designed for 16S rRNA were effective for A. aceti detection. The quantification limit of real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and qLAMP in pure culture was 2.05 × 101 colony forming units (CFU) mL-1. qLAMP had a sensitivity of 6.88 × 101 CFU mL-1 in artificially contaminated Changyu dry red wine (CDRW) and Changyu red wine (CRW), and 6.88 × 102 CFU mL-1 in artificially contaminated Greatwall dry red wine (GDRW), which was 10 times higher than that of qPCR. In conclusion, this newly developed qLAMP is a reliable, rapid and accurate method for the detection and quantification of A. aceti species in red wine samples. Furthermore, our work provides a standard reference method for the quantitative detection of A. aceti and other acetic acid bacteria during the fermentation and storage of red wine samples.
