Species-specific primers selected from the internal transcribed spacer region sequence were used to set up a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) able to simultaneously identify the white truffle species Tuber magnatum, Tuber borchii, Tuber maculatum and Tuber puberulum. Furthermore, a primer specific for the competitive fungus Sphaerosporella brunnea was designed and added to the multiplex PCR set, allowing the detection of the Tuber species and the contaminant fungus in a one-step reaction.

Abstract
Species-specific primers selected from the internal transcribed spacer region sequence were used to set up a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) able to simultaneously identify the white truffle species Tuber magnatum, Tuber borchii, Tuber maculatum and Tuber puberulum. Furthermore, a primer specific for the competitive fungus Sphaerosporella brunnea was designed and added to the multiplex PCR set, allowing the detection of the Tuber species and the contaminant fungus in a one-step reaction.File in questo prodotto:
