Beer spoilage by Lactobacillus brevis and / or Lactobacillus lindneri: Molecular diagnosis (PCR); Molecular identification (sequencing); Quantitative culture.
Tests in IVAMI:
- Detection of Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus lindneri of samples for specific for each species PCR.
- If it is positive for Lactobacillus brevis, detecting the presence of Lactobacillus brevis of beer degrader.
- Should be positive for Lactobacillus brevis degrader beer and / or Lactobaillus lindneri, proceed with quantitative culture if desired.
Cost of testing
- Identification of Lactobacillus brevis by PCR and verification by sequencing.
- Identification of Lactobacillus lindneri by PCR and sequencing verification by
- Identification of strains of Lactobacillus brevis, causing degradation by detecting the corresponding gene by PCR (only if positive for Lactobacillus brevis).
- Quantitative plating specific means for Lactobacillus spp., Incubated in anaerobiosis (only if positive for Lactobacillus brevis and / or Lactobacillus lindneri).
