Article Snippet: Milk samples were spread onto MRS agar plates (Haibo, China) and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. Amplified products were sequenced by Shanghai Majorbio Bio-pharm Technology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China), and phylogenetic relationships were inferred using MEGA version 7.0. ( ).
Techniques: Staining, Incubation
