Abstract

âº Leuconostoc gasicomitatum, L. gelidum and Carnobacterium divergens prevailed in meat. âº The bacteria found in meat by colony identification were also found by T-RFLP. âº T-RFLP results correlated with viable counts of Leuconostoc spp. and Brochothrix thermosphacta. âº T-RFLP was a useful tool for characterization of bacterial communities in meat.
