FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology and specifically to DNA technologies. Disclosed are synthetic oligonucleotide primers and a method of detecting Lactococcus lactis subspecies lactis in starter cultures when producing fermented milk products. The disclosed method involves conducting a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Detection of a 449 bps DNA fragment indicates presence of Lactococcus lactis subspecies lactis in the analysed biological material.
EFFECT: method can be used in the milk processing industry to detect and identify strains and cultures of Lactococcus lactis subspecies lactis in starter cultures when producing fermented milk products.
