Identification of the species and characterization of the dominant strains in static surface acetic acid fermentation were required for the stabilization of fermentation procedures and improvement of the strain. Recent advances of genetic analyses including DNA—DNA hybridization, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERlC)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP)-PCR, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and 16S rRNA sequence analysis with PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) methods allow identificatiOTi of species of acetic acid bacteria. 

Debaryomyces hansenii var. fabryii and its anamorph C. famata var. flareri were reported to be pathogenic by Vazquez et al. [223] and Nicand et al. [224]. Using random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis (RAPD-PCR), Prillinger et al. [208] considered D. hansenii ar. fabryii as a distinct species, i.e. 

Three research groups independently developed the method, with small differences between them. Williams et al. (31) patented the RAPD technique (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA), which became the most popular. Welsh and McClelland (32) used primers with 20 nucleotides and called the technique Arbitrary Primed-PCR. Finally, Caetano-Anolles et al. (33) described the same technology with name DNA Amplihcation Fingerprint. 

As described by Williams et al. (1990), random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-PCR) is a variant of PGR that utilizes oligonucleotide probes (9 to 12 base pairs or bp) to amplify several regions of the genome. The amplification products are then separated electrophoretically. Resolution depends upon the primer sequence and reaction conditions. RAPD-PCR can be made more specific by use of highly specific oligonucleotide probes. Holt and Cote (1998) applied this technique toward the identification of dextran-producing Oenococcus strains, and Esteve-Zarzoso et al. (1998) were able to identify Saccharomyces and Zygosaccharomyces species. Quesada and Cenis (1995) used the method to characterize wine yeasts.
