A DGGE Marker-Mediated Fast Monitoring of Bacterial Diversity and Comprehensive Identification of High-Temperature Daqu Starter.

Unlabelled: Bacteria play an essential role in Daqu starter (Daqu) fermentation. The identification of Daqu bacteria was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of the highly variable V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Here, we define a novel DGGE marker for the quick identification of Daqu bacteria.
