Abstract

A genomic library of Lactobacillus curvatus DSM 20019 was constructed in bacteriophage λ gt11. A 1.2-kilobase DNA probe specific for L. curvatus was isolated from this library. When this probe was hybridized to DNA from Lactobacillus isolates from different sources classified by conventional techniques, differing degrees of hybridization were obtained. This could imply that these isolates may have been incorrectly classified.
