S-layer gene as a molecular marker for identification of Lactobacillus helveticus
Abstract
The paper describes two methods that allow rapid and accurate identification of Lactobacillus helveticus strains based on the nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for the surface layer (S-layer) protein. The first method is based on a polymerase chain reaction amplification using primers targeting a specific fragment of the S-layer gene. The second method involved a portion of the S-layer gene of L. helveticus as a probe in a hybridisation test. The specificity of these protocols was checked for DNA samples isolated from various Lactobacillus strains.
