Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can be used to identify microorganisms. This study describes the influence of culture conditions on FTIR spectra and the discrimination of Lactobacillus species found in breweries. Fifty three Lactobacillus strains were analysed by FTIR spectroscopy and identification at the species level was correct for 94% of the strains, and at the strain level for 91% of the strains.
