DESIGN OF GENUS-SPECIFIC AND SPECIES-SPECIFIC PRIMERS FOR INDICATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF LACTOBACILLUS BULGARICUS

Abstract
A comparative analysis of the nucleotide sequences of Lactobacillus deposited into the NCBI database has been carried out. Genus-specific and species-specific primers for indication and identification of L. bulgaricus and L. acidophilus have been synthesized. Genus-specific and species-specific primers designed have a low degree of homology regarding DNA regions of other bacteria of lactic fermentation that ensures their specificity. The developed method of indication of lactic acid bacteria and a complex scheme of their generical and specific identification can be used to characterize the isolated strains of Lactobacillus. It can be of practical interest for use in a system of quality control of foodstuffs enriched with Lactobacillus.
