16S ribosomal RNA-based methods to monitor changes in the hindgut bacterial community of piglets after oral administration of Lactobacillus sobrius S1

16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene based PCR/denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and real-time PCR were used to monitor the changes in the composition of microbiota in the hindgut of piglets after oral administration of Lactobacillus sobrius S1. Six litters of neonatal piglets were divided randomly into control group and treatment group. At 7, 9, and 11 days of age, piglets in the treatment group orally received a preparation of L. sobrius S1. At 7, 14, 21(weaning), 24, and 35 days of age, one piglet from each litter was sacrificed and digesta samples of hindgut were collected. DGGE analysis of 16S rRNA gene V6-V8 region for all bacteria showed that several populations present in the hindgut of piglets, represented by far-migrating bands, disappeared after weaning. Most of these bands corresponded to Lactobacillus spp. as revealed by sequence analysis. Quantitative real-time PCR specific for lactobacilli further demonstrated that the number of lactobacilli population tended to decrease after the piglets were weaned. Drastic changes of L. amylovorus and L. sobrius in total Lactobacillus populations were also observed in the colon of piglets around weaning, as monitored by 16S rRNA gene V2-V3 region based Lactobacillus-specific PCR-DGGE. Species-specific real-time PCR also revealed that the population of L. sobrius declined apparently in the colon of piglets after weaning. No remarkable changes in the overall microbial community in the hindgut were found between control and treatment groups. However, comparison of DGGE profiles between the two groups revealed a specific band related to Clostridium disporicum that was found in treatment group on day 14. On day 35, a specific band appeared only in the control group, representing a population most closely related to Streptococcus suis (99%). Real-time PCR showed that L. sobrius 16S rRNA gene copies in treatment group were relatively higher than in the control group (10(8.45) vs. 10(6.83)) on day 35, but no significant difference was observed between the two groups.     

Representational difference analysis and real-time PCR for strain-specific quantification of Lactobacillus sobrius sp. nov

Lactobacillus sobrius sp. nov., which was recently isolated from the intestine of weaning piglets, has potential probiotic properties. To follow the fate of L. sobrius strain 001T in dietary interventions, a novel and strain-specific quantitative detection procedure was developed. This procedure was based on the isolation of specific genomic fragments from the type strain by representational difference analysis and their detection by real-time PCR. The described strain-specific quantification approach may be used in studies aimed at tracking bacterial strains added to specific environments.     

干酪乳杆菌的近缘种及亚种部分看家基因的系统发育分析

【背景】16S rRNA基因序列分析已广泛应用于细菌的分类鉴定,但是存在一定局限性,而使用看家基因作为分子标记在近缘种及亚种间的系统发育分析中具有其独特的优势。【目的】研究16S rRNA、uvr C (核酸外切酶ABC,C亚基)和mur E (UDP-N-乙酰胞壁酰三肽合酶)基因序列对干酪乳杆菌的近缘种及亚种的区分能力。【方法】采用分离自传统发酵乳中的6株干酪乳杆菌为研究对象,选取uvr C和mur E基因片段,通过PCR扩增、测序,结合已公布的干酪乳杆菌的近缘种或亚种的相应序列计算遗传距离、构建系统发育树,并与16S rRNA基因序列分析技术进行比较。【结果】研究发现Lactobacilluscasei及相近种间的uvr C、mur E和联合基因(uvr C-mur E)构建的系统发育树拓扑结构与16S rRNA基因结果基本一致,区别在于相似性的不同,其分别为79.00%-99.16%、89.08%-99.20%、76.56%-99.69%和99.58%-100%。基于16S rRNA基因不能区分干酪乳杆菌的近缘种及亚种,而看家基因uvr C和mur E基因序列能够很好地区分干酪乳杆菌的近缘种及亚种,并且将uvr C和mur E基因串联使用后,试验菌株与参考菌株的分类关系更加清晰。【结论】联合基因(uvr C-mur E)可作为16SrRNA基因的辅助工具用于干酪乳杆菌的近缘种及亚种的快速准确鉴定。

DNA-based classification and sequence heterogeneities in the 16S rRNA genes of Lactobacillus casei/paracasei and related species

The sequence differences within the 16S rRNA genes of Lactobacillus casei/paracasei and related species, Lactobacillus zeae and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, were investigated. Thirty-seven strains of mostly human or cheese origin were grouped by restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) of the total chromosomal DNA and by temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TTGE) of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments. REA verified that all strains were genomically unique and singled out three major clusters, one L. rhamnosus-cluster and two clusters containing L. paracasei strains. The groups obtained by TTGE corresponded with one exception to the REA-clusters. In the TTGE clustering all L. paracasei strains formed one general group with one TTGE-band in common, and this group was sub-divided into five subgroups due to the presence of more than one TTGE-band in four of the subgroups. The occurrence of multiple TTGE-bands was investigated by amplifying and cloning of the 16S rRNA genes from the strains showing this phenomenon, thereby 12 clones from each strain were sequenced, demonstrating polymorphisms in almost all the cases. Subjecting the clones displaying sequence variations to TTGE as well as sequencing of 16S rDNA revealed by ribotyping of the strains, verified the presence of polymorphisms within the 16S rRNA genes. The migration characteristic of amplified DNA from a single clone corresponded to a specific band in the TTGE-pattern of the strain from which the clone originated. Southern blot hybridisation with a 16S rDNA probe demonstrated the presence of at least five 16S rRNA genes in L. casei/paracasei. A higher degree of variable positions than previously reported was observed in the 16S rRNA gene fragments of the members in the complex. Sequence comparison between the 16S rRNA gene copies of L. casei (CCUG 21451T) and L. zeae (CCUG 35515T) demonstrated that the two species shared almost the same sequence in some copies while the others were more different. Our results provide one explanation for the difficulties in reaching clear-cut taxa within the L. casei/paracasei complex.     

Taxonomic note "Lactobacillus pastorianus" (Van Laer, 1892) a former synonym for Lactobacillus paracollinoides

"Lactobacillus pastorianus" (Van Laer, 1892) is not a validly described species and is not included in the Approved List of Bacterial Names. The strain is available in multiple culture collections as Lactobacillus sp. DSM 20197, L. brevis ATCC 8291, "L. pastorianus" CECT 5926, L. brevis JCM 1113, and "L. pastorianus" LMG 11990. Nearly identical 16S rRNA sequences and protein encoding genes for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (99.9%) revealed this strain as L. paracollinoides. A 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region-based PCR assay did not differentiate "L. pastorianus" DSM 20197 from L. paracollinoides DSM 15502(T). Highly similar RAPD profiles differentiated both strains below species level.

Phylogeny of the defined murine microbiota: altered Schaedler flora.

The "altered Schaedler flora" (ASF) was developed for colonizing germfree rodents with a standardized microbiota. The purpose of this study was to identify each of the eight ASF strains by 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Three strains were previously identified as Lactobacillus acidophilus (strain ASF 360), Lactobacillus salivarius (strain ASF 361), and Bacteroides distasonis (strain ASF 519) based on phenotypic criteria. 16S rRNA analysis indicated that each of the strains differed from its presumptive identity. The 16S rRNA sequence of strain ASF 361 is essentially identical to the 16S rRNA sequences of the type strains of Lactobacillus murinis and Lactobacillus animalis (both isolated from mice), and all of these strains probably belong to a single species. Strain ASF 360 is a novel lactobacillus that clusters with L. acidophilus and Lactobacillus lactis. Strain ASF 519 falls into an unnamed genus containing [Bacteroides] distasonis, [Bacteroides] merdae, [Bacteroides] forsythus, and CDC group DF-3. This unnamed genus is in the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides phylum and is most closely related to the genus Porphyromonas. The spiral-shaped strain, strain ASF 457, is in the Flexistipes phylum and exhibits sequence identity with rodent isolates of Robertson. The remaining four ASF strains, which are extremely oxygen-sensitive fusiform bacteria, group phylogenetically with the low-G+C-content gram-positive bacteria (Firmicutes, Bacillus-Clostridium group). ASF 356, ASF 492, and ASF 502 fall into Clostridium cluster XIV of Collins et al. Morphologically, ASF 492 resembles members of this cluster, Roseburia cecicola, and Eubacterium plexicaudatum. The 16S rRNA sequence of ASF 492 is identical to that of E. plexicaudatum. Since the type strain and other viable original isolates of E. plexicaudatum have been lost, strain ASF 492 is a candidate for a neotype strain. Strain ASF 500 branches deeply in the low-G+C-content gram-positive phylogenetic tree but is not closely related to any organisms whose 16S rRNA sequences are currently in the GenBank database. The 16S rRNA sequence information determined in the present study should allow rapid identification of ASF strains and should permit detailed analysis of the interactions of ASF organisms during development of intestinal disease in mice that are coinfected with a variety of pathogenic microorganisms.
