Abstract
A commercially-available antiserum for the identification of group D strains of Streptococcus contains antibodies which react with Pediococcus and Micrococcus, and provides a convenient method to detect these genera in yeast, wort and beer. After suitable adsorption it can be used to distinguish between Pediococcus and Micrococcus and, within each genus, to differentiate between groups normally found in a brewery environment and those from other sources.Keywords
