Short Communication: Carnobacterium maltaromaticum: The Only Carnobacterium Species in French Ripened Soft Cheeses as Revealed by Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection

Electrophoresis in a 1.5% agarose gel of PCR amplification products with primers (A) Cpis-23S-7 and (B) Cdiv-23S-7. Lanes for panels A and B are as follows: 1: 100 to 1,000 bp molecular weight ladder; 2: no template negative control; 3: Carnobacterium maltaromaticum LMA 28 (A) or Carnobacterium divergens DSM 20624^T (B); 4: Pérail (Lou Pérac); 5: Brique de Jussac (Jussac); 6: Picodon (Rians); 7: Petit Munster (Petits amis); 8: Petit Munster (Val de Weiss); 9: Petit Munster (Fermier); 10: Camembert de Normandie (Isigny) 11: Camembert de Normandie (Réo); 12: Epoisses (Lincet); 13: Petit Livarot (Lanquetot). ^T = type strain.
