FIG. 4.
DGGE analysis of the dominant (d) and Lactobacillus-like community (s) diversity in fecal and cecal samples from six adults (A to D, H, I), after PCR with primers Bact-0124-GCf and Uni-0515r and nested PCR with primers Lab-0159f and Uni-0515-GCr, respectively. The dominant fragments in the Lactobacillus-like patterns indicated by arrows and numbers were identified by clones from the existing clone library of Lactobacillus-like sequences, as described in Table 4. The origin of the fragments and the corresponding clones are indicated as follows: 1, L. sakei (F45); 2, L. ruminis (F68); 3, L. ruminis (F70); 4, L. delbrueckii (F93); 5, L. fermentum (F81); 6, L. ruminis (F1); 7, L. gasseri (S1); and 8, Leuconostoc mesenteroides (S27).
