Abstract	Nucleic acid-based assays were developed to enumerate members of the three taxa Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, L. lactis subsp. lactis, and Leuconostoc spp. in mesophilic starter cultures. To our knowledge the present is the first study to present a multiplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) strategy for the relative enumeration of bacteria. The multiplex qPCR strategy was designed to quantify the target DNA simultaneously relative to total bacterial DNA. The assay has a high discriminatory power and resolves concentration changes as low as 1.3-fold. The methodology was compared with flow cytometric fluorescence in situ hybridization (FLOW-FISH) and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-d-galactopyranoside (X-Gal)-calcium citrate agar-based plate counting. For enumeration by FLOW-FISH, three new probes having the same specificity as the qPCR assay were designed and established. A combination with flow cytometry greatly reduced the time consumed compared to manual enumeration. Both qPCR and FLOW-FISH yielded similar community compositions for 10 complex starter cultures, with all detected subpopulations being highly significantly correlated (P < 0.001). Correlations between X-Gal-calcium citrate agar-based CFU and qPCR-derived counts were highly significant (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively) for the number of acidifiers versus L. lactis subsp. cremoris and for Leuconostoc spp. as quantified by the two techniques, respectively. This confirmed that most acidifiers in the studied PROBAT cultures are members of L. lactis subsp. cremoris. Quantitative real-time PCR and FLOW-FISH were found to be effective and accurate tools for the bacterial community analysis of complex starter cultures.
