The genomic DNA of the LAB isolates was extracted using a bacterial DNA extraction kit (Tiangen Biotech, Beijing, China) for molecular identification. The sequences of 16S rRNA were amplified using universal primers 27F and 1492R, as previously described [26 (link)]. The PCR products were sequenced by Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). The sequence data obtained were subjected to online homology analysis using NCBI BLASTn for the final identification of LAB.
