      during ripening.

AB  - Microbiological sampling of Norvegia cheese from three cheese factories was done 
      during ripening. The evolution of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, lactococci, 
      lactobacilli, enterococci, presumptive leuconostoc and pediococci was 
      investigated after 30, 90, 180 and 270 days of ripening. Isolates (135) of 
      non-starter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) from nine Norvegia cheeses after 90, 180 
      and 270 days of ripening were examined. The isolates were tested by physiological 
      and biochemical assays, species-specific PCR and 16S rDNA sequencing. After 90 
      days of ripening Leuconostoc spp., most probably from the starter, and the NSLAB 
      specie Lactobacillus paracasei dominated among the isolates, however, after 
      longer ripening Lb. paracasei dominated. The development and evolution of the 
      microflora in Norvegia varied according to dairy and ripening time.
