Additional Individual Microbial Assays

qPCR

  • HorABC for Lactobacillus and Pediococcus (pH tolerant Lactobacillus and Pediococcus)

  • Brettanomyces bruxellensis

  • Brettanomyces anomala (Brett claussenii)

  • Brettanomyces naardenensis

  • Brettanomyces custersiana

  • General Lactobacillus/Pediococcus

  • Lactobacillus acetotolerans

  • Lactobacillus fructivorans

  • Lactobacillus rhamnosus

  • Lactobacillus delbruekii

  • Lactobacillus brevis

  • Brewers yeast, wild yeasts, and bacteria

  • Megasphaera/Pectinatus
