Abstract

The application of a selected Acetobacter pasteurianus strain for traditional balsamic vinegar production was assessed. Genomic DNA was extracted from biofilms after enrichment cultures on GYC medium (10% glucose, 1.0% yeast extract, 2.0% calcium carbonate) and used for PCR/denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus/PCR sequencing. Results suggested that double-culture fermentation is suitable for traditional balsamic vinegar acetification.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A. pasteurianus strains have positive effects to start acetification processes from musts that do not contain acetic acid initially and are able to promote growth of other naturally occurring bacteria.

    “Gullo, De Vero and Giudici (2009) reported that A. pasteurianus strains have positive effects to start acetification processes from musts that not contain acetic acid initially.They are also able to promote the growth of other naturally occurring bacteria.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
