Abstract
Ribotyping of brewery contaminants was carried out by automated
ribotyping with the restriction enzymes EcoRI, PvuII and PstI. A database was
created mainly including fingerprints of Lactobacillus spp., Pediococcus spp.,
Pectinatus spp., Megasphaera cerevisiae and Obesumbacterium proteus, but also
of other lactic acid bacteria, enterobacteria, acetic acid bacteria,
clostridia and pseudomonads. The most important property of ribotyping to
characterize strains below species level, has been successfully applied in
tracing of contamination routes and in detection of troublesome "house types"
in industrial processes. The database created is extremely useful for reliable
and rapid identification of bacteria isolated from brewing and malting
industry.
