a

+, detected by PCR-DGGE; −, not detected by PCR-DGGE; values in parentheses are numbers of colonies detected by culturing and identified by PCR-DGGE by migration distance comparison and/or sequencing of 28S rDNA.

b

Strains were picked from batches A, B, C, and D at fermentation days 9.5, 10, 7, and 16, respectively.

c

Fermentation time was 13 days.

d

Clones identified by PCR-DGGE and/or sequencing of 28S rDNA.
