Bacterial and Fungal Communities of Gioddu as Revealed by PCR-DGGE Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Gioddu is the sole variety of fermented milk originating in Italy. Despite the long history of consumption, Gioddu still represents an undisclosed source of microbial diversity. The present study was aimed to get an insight into the bacterial and fungal diversity of Gioddu samples collected from two artisan producers located in Sardinia. To this end 3 batches of Gioddu were collected from each producer and subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analyses. Gioddu was produced with sheep milk in accordance with the local tradition. Regarding the bacterial population, a low biodiversity emerged. In more detail, the sole species Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus was detected in all the
