  • Methods for the detection of the bacterial agents causing spoilage of beer
    Patent number: 5705339
    Abstract: Nucleic acid sequences which preferentially bind to the rRNA or rDNA of microorganisms which cause the spoilage of beer are disclosed. The beer spoilage microorganisms are predominantly of the genera Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. The nucleic acids may be used as probes in assays to detect the presence of these microorganisms. Kits containing two or more probes are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 1995
    Date of Patent: January 6, 1998
    Assignee: Amoco Corporation
    Inventors: Raymond M. Nietupski, Benjamin B. Stone, William G. Weisburg
