A multiplex PCR method for simultaneous species identification and strain typification of Oenococcus oeni
Selected starter cultures of Oenococcus oeni are widely used to initiate malolactic fermentation (MLF) in wine. Nevertheless, the inoculated culture does not always develop as expected and undesired strains can grow causing wine spoilage. Therefore, methods that can reliably differentiate O. oeni strains are essential to monitor the population dynamics of MLF. This work presents a new multiplex PCR method that allows the simultaneous species identification and strain typification of O. oeni, based on the combined use of species-specific PCR primers and a Random Polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR primer. This method represents an useful tool for the control of wine MLF.
Objective To study the best extracting technology of Compound Taizishen Granule prescription.Methods The total polysaccharides and total saponins were determined by UV spectrophotometer.With the content of total polysaccharides and total saponins as comprehensive indexes,orthogonal test was applied to investigation of the water addition,extraction time,and extraction times for optimizing the best extracting technology.Results The best extracting technology was using 10 times the amount of water,extracting 3 times and 1.5 h per time.Conclusion The extraction technology is safe and effective,which can be used as extraction for Compound Taizishen Granule prescription.
