ABSTRACT A new fluorescence in situ hybridization method using peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes for identification ofBrettanomyces is described. The test is based on fluorescein-labeled PNA probes targeting a species-specific sequence of the rRNA of Dekkera bruxellensis. The PNA probes were applied to smears of colonies, and results were interpreted by fluorescence microscopy. The results obtained from testing 127 different yeast strains, including 78 Brettanomycesisolates from wine, show that the spoilage organismBrettanomyces belongs to the species D. bruxellensis and that the new method is able to identifyBrettanomyces (D. bruxellensis) with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity.
