Fig. 4.8. Specific lactic acid bacteria population counts by hybridization on colonies with reference DNA probes, (a) hybridization on colonies of cultured Oeno-coccus oeni. (b) detection of L hilgardii colonies in a mix of 5 species (O. oeni, L. mesenteroides, P. damnosus, L. plantarum, L. hilgardii). Result obtained after 4 successive hybridizations and dehybridizations with probes from four other species...
