Representative strains, including the type of each species, were selected from different clusters obtained by numerical analysis of total soluble cell protein patterns. Results obtained by RAPD-PCR corresponded well with results obtained by numerical analysis of total soluble cell protein patterns. The type strains of each species displayed different RAPD profiles. Strainswith identical L(+)- nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent lactic dehydrogenase(nLDH) electrophoretic profiles could be distinguished on the basis of their RAPD profiles.  aLactobacillus acidophilus  aAnalise numerica  aNumerical analysis  aRandom amplified polymorphic  aRAPD1 aDICKS, L.
