Discrimination of Dairy Industry Isolates of the Lactobacillus casei Group

Dendrograms derived from the UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) analysis of Jaccard similarities in NotI genomic fragment patterns obtained in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The similarity scale (%) is shown: (A) Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus casei, and Lactobacillus zeae; (B) Lactobacillus rhamnosus. ASCC = Australian Starter Culture Collection, Australian Starter Culture Research Centre (Werribee, Victoria, Australia); CSCC = Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Starter Culture Collection (Highett, Victoria, Australia); ATCC = American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA).
