Abstract
Over the past few years, various methods have been developed for the differentiation and identification of Alicyclobacillus. These methods are described in sections 5–2 to 5–13. The details of each method are provided however the methods differ slightly from each other in sensitivity and performance. Therefore it is very important to have a clear idea of the desired objective before selecting the analytical method to be applied. For example, the peroxidase method is effective for the detection of guaiacol and the differentiation of guaiacol producing species (5–2). The 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) sequence comparison method is effective for species identification (5–4), and ribotyping is the preferred method for identification at the strain level (5–7).
