Abstract

The potential of the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) technique to differentiate Carnobacterium divergens from other members of the genus Carnobacterium was examined. A numerical analysis of the genomic profiles obtained demonstrated that it was possible to differentiate the C. divergens strains from other Carnobacterium strains using this technique. The heterogeneity observed in the representatives of the species C. piscicola adds further weight to the suggestion in other taxonomic studies that subspecies of this species exist.
