title: The rapid identification of lactic acid bacteria present in Chilean winemaking processes using culture-independent analysis.
abstract: A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes was developed to identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that are commonly present in winemaking processes (Oenococcus, Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, andLeuconostoc). This culture-independent approach revealed the presence ofOenococcusin the spontaneous malolactic fermentation in industrial Chilean wines.
