Molecular Characterisation of the Indigenous Microflora of Artisanal Fresh Sheep Cheese Karakačanski Skakutanac by PCR-ARDRA & PCR-DGGE

The purpose of the present study was to give a first insight into the indigenous microbiota associated with an artisanal fresh sheep cheese Karakačanski skakutanac. Directly extracted DNA was used as a template in PCR-ARDRA and PCR-DGGE analysis. The results of both method were concomitant and indicated absolute dominance of Lactococcus lactis in this cheese. The fact that no shift in structure of microbial community was observed remains still to be elucidated.
