2.3. Identification of the Selected ALAB
The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the selected ALAB strain was amplified [7] and then sequenced using
ABI 3100 Capillary DNA Sequencer (Applied Biosystems Inc., USA). A full length of the 16S rRNA gene
sequence was compared to the sequences of strains in the library of the National Center for Biotechnology
Information (NCBI) using BLAST sequence analysis.
