Abstract
The present invention relates to genes for detecting the genus Pectinatus frisingensis or Pectinatus cerevisiiphilus of the genus Pectinatus, which is known as beer-spoilage bacteria, and a method for detecting the bacteria by using the genes. The present invention provides gene sequences of spacer regions between 16S rRNA genes and 23S rRNA genes specific for the genus Pectinatus relating to beer-spoilage and a method for quickly and sensitively detecting the bacteria by using the sequences.
Claims4
An isolated nucleic acid comprising SEQ ID NO:3.
An isolated nucleic acid comprising SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:8, or SEQ ID NO:9.
A method for detecting Pectinatus cerevisiphilus comprising carrying out a gene amplification assay wherein a nucleic acid comprising instant SEQ ID NO:
- 3 is produced as an amplification product, and detecting the presence of the amplification product, wherein the presence of instant SEQ ID NO:
- 3 is indicative of the presence of Pectinatus cerevisiphilus.
