Rapid species identification within two groups of closely related lactobacilli using PCR primers that target the 16S/23S rRNA spacer region

A rapid and reliable PCR-based method for distinguishing closely related species within two groups of lactobacilli is described. Primers complementary to species-specific sequences in the 16S/23S rDNA spacer regions were designed after sequencing and sequence comparison of the spacer regions of 32 strains. The strains belong to two groups of closely related Lactobacillus species; one composed of Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus graminis and Lactobacillus sake, the other of Lactobacillus paraplantarum, Lactobacillus pentosus and Lactobacillus plantarum. PCR assays with the designed primers and subsequent agarose gel analysis of the amplified fragments allowed the same species identification as the DNA/DNA hybridization procedure.

Novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction primer set for identification of Lactococcus species

Aims: The gram‐positive bacterial genus Lactococcus has been taxonomically classified into seven species (Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus garvieae, Lactococcus piscium, Lactococcus plantarum, Lactococcus raffinolactis, Lactococcus chungangensis and Lactococcus fujiensis). This study aimed to develop a novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer set for the identification of the seven lactococcal species, as well as to differentiate the two industrially important dairy subspecies, L. lactis subsp. lactis and L. lactis subsp. cremoris. Methods and Results: A multiplex PCR primer set was designed based on the nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene of the seven lactococcal species. The specificity of the established one‐step multiplex PCR scheme was verified using more than 200 bacterial strains, in which a complete sequence match was confirmed by partial sequencing of their 16S rRNA gene. Conclusions: The one‐step multiplex PCR enables the identification and speciation of bacterial strains belonging to the genus Lactococcus and the differentiation of strains of L. lactis subsp. lactis and L. lactis subsp. cremoris. Significance and Impact of the Study: This work provides an efficient method for identification of lactococcal strains of industrial importance.

New sesquiterpenes from Senecio oxyodontus

The South African plant, Senecio oxyodontus, contained in addition to known compounds several new sesquiterpenes, which were all of the bisabolene type. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and some chemical transformations. The constituents were closely related to those from one other South African Senecio species and in contrast to most Senecio species which contain very different structural types, mainly of the furanoeremophilanes type.
