With the aim of carrying out a survey of the community and
the dynamics of SLAB and NSLAB during fermentation and ripening
of the well-known PDO GP cheese, a more complex and complete
sampling was used in this current study. Culture-based and cultureindependent
approaches were used to determine the presence
of cultivable, viable, non-viable and lysed cells from six different
production cycles. In addition, ANOVA statistical analysis and
ecological indices were used to describe the general trend of GP
microbial dynamics
