Species of Lactobacillus and Carnobacterium from meat and meat products could be separated by a few biochemical characteristics; presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall, the isomers of lactic acid produced, production of citrulline from arginine and fermentation of some carbohydrates. This identification key was checked by DNA-DNA hybridizations studies.
