Identification of Lactobacillus UFV H2b20 (probiotic strain) using DNA-DNA hybridization

Abstract: Sequence analyses of the 16S rDNA gene and DNA-DNA hybridization tests were performed for identification of the species of the probiotic Lactobacillus UFV H2b20 strain. Using these two tests, we concluded that this strain, originally considered Lact. acidophilus, should be classified as Lact. delbrueckii.

“…Lactobacillus UFV H2B20, a probiotic strain, for example, which was first identified as L. acidophilus based on its sugar fermentation profile (38), was afterwards classified as L. delbrueckii using molecular methods (16). One major reason for the mismatch between phenotypic and genotypic data might be ascribed to loosing or acquiring plasmids, which leads to metabolite inconsistencies, as some carbohydrate fermentation capacities are plasmid encoded (2).…”

“…Nowadays, mostly molecular methods are employed in bacterial identification, and additionally, classical methods are being used. Majority of the molecular methods are based on DNA analysis: DNA-DNA hybridization; various PCR-based techniques (e.g., PCR product sequencing, qPCR, PCR-DGGE, rep-PCR, ITS-PCR, ERIC-PCR, RAPD-PCR, AFLP), comparison of restriction fragments length (RFLP, ARDRA); or protein analysis (SDS-PAGE, MALDI-TOF MS, isoelectric focusing) (de Magalhães et al 2008;Dušková et al 2012;Herbel et al 2013;Jurkovič et al 2006;Mikasová et al 2005;Mohania et al 2008;Nováková et al 2013). The 16S-23S rDNA sequence analysis is exploited very often as well.…”

“…They can colonize the intestinal tract of humans and other mammals as a probiotic. In this genus, Lactobacillus acidophilus is the traditional species used in probiotics (Magalhães et al, 2008;Apás et al, 2008). Cruz et al (2007) and Talwalkar and Kailasapathy (2004) highlight the fact that Lactobacillus acidophilus requires an environment of low oxygen tension for optimal growth and has complex nutritional needs related to the assimilation of free amino acids, peptides, vitamins, nucleotides and certain minerals.…”
