Abstract: The structure and diversity of microbial community in normal and spoilage vinegar samples were studied by PCR-DGGE technology combined with pure culture technology. By comparative analysis and tie-back test, we found that Lactobacillus acetotolerans was the polluting strain causing vinegar spoilage. This is the first domestic reports regarding that L. acetotolerans was the cause of the vinegar spoilage and provided theoretical basis for the enterprises of vinegar production to control the microbial pollution.

Key words: PCR-DGGE, pure culture technology, Lactobacillus acetotolerans
