The aim of this study is to compare pattern of Isoprenoid quinine of unspecified bacterial isolates from dairy product to reference strains type species of the genus Microbacterium. Method: Twenty-eight strains of coryneform and related bacteria were studied for isoprenoid quinine content. Extraction of 100 mg of freezedried cells by chloroform: methanol (2:1v/v), extract was then run onto analytical TLC plates coated with o.5 mm Merck Silica Gel HF245. Results: Out of the twenty-eight reference and unspecified strains M. lacticum and M. flavum are quite distinct and that the predominant of MK-8 in BL77/18. BL77/19 and BL77/20 support that these strains are related to M. flavum.
