Abstract

See full text

A method for determining the presence of a contaminating organism in a fermentation process includes initiating the fermentation process using a syngas and obtaining a first aliquot from the fermentation process. The method further includes subjecting said first aliquot to a polymerase chain reaction using at least one oligonucleotide primer capable of hybridizing to a target sequence of a genomic nucleic acid from a suspected contaminating organism, producing a first amplified product based on the polymerase chain reaction, separating the first amplified product based on size, and determining the presence of the suspected contaminating organism based on the first separated amplified product.
