Article Abstract:

The distribution of mucosa- associated bacteria, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and closely related lactic acid bacteria, in biopsy samples from the ascending, transverse and descending parts of the colon from four individuals are investigated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresiss (DGGE).

Isolation of a hop-sensitive variant of Lactobacillus lindneri and identification of genetic markers for beer spoilage ability of lactic acid bacteria

Article Abstract:

A hop-sensitive variant of the beer spoilage bacterium Lactobacillus lindneri DSM 20692 is isolated. The wide and exclusive distribution of horB and horC homologs among beer spoilage lactic acid bacteria is acquired through horizontal gene transfer.
