The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role in the fermentation of vegetables to improve nutritive value, palatability, acceptability, microbial quality and shelf life of the fermented produce. The LAB associated with beetroot and carrot fermentation were identified and characterized using different molecular tools. Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) provided similar DNA profile for the 16 LAB strains isolated from beetroot and carrot fermentation while repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (rep-PCR) genotyping could differentiate the LAB strains into eight genotypes. Thirteen strains represented by five genotypes could be clustered in five distinct groups while three LAB strains exhibiting distinct genotypes remained ungrouped. These genotypes could be identified to be belonging to L. plantarum group by 16S rDNA sequencing. The recAnested multiplex PCR employing species-specific primers for the L. plantarum group members identified the LAB strains of six genotypes to be L. paraplantarum and the other two genotypes to be L. pentosus. Three genotypes of L. paraplantarum were consistently found on the third and sixth day of beetroot fermentation whereas a distinct genotype of L. paraplantarum and L. pentosus appeared predominant on the tenth day. From carrot Kanji two distinct genotypes of L. paraplantarum and one genotype of L. pentosus were identified. REP-PCR DNA fingerprinting coupled with 16S rDNA sequencing and recA-nested multiplex PCR could clearly identify as well as differentiate the diverse L. plantarum group strains involved in the fermentation.
