Characterization of Superoxide dismutase genes from Gram-positive bacteria by polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers

Abstract An internal fragment representing approximately 85% of sod genes from seven Gram-positive bacteria was amplified by using degenerate primers in a polymerase chain reaction assay. The DNA sequences of sod polymerase chain reaction products from Clostridium perfringens, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Lactococcus lactis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae , and Streptococcus pyogenes were determined. Comparisons of their deduced amino acid sequences with those of the corresponding regions of the SOD proteins from Bacillus stearothermophilus, Listeria monocytogenes , and Streptococcus mutans revealed strong relatedness. Phylogenetic analysis of SOD peptides showed that members of the genera Streptococcus and those of the genera Enterococcus constitute two well-supported monophyletic groups. The method described in this study provides a means for easy recovery of sod genes and the construction of sod mutants of various Gram-positive pathogens.     

High GC Contents of Primer 5′-End Increases Reaction Efficiency in Polymerase Chain Reaction

Many studies have suggested that regulation of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is influenced by several factors. However, the understanding of reaction efficiency factors is not sufficient. Here we propose that high GC contents of primer 5′-end increases reaction efficiency in PCR. Using 71 primers (45 pairs), we analyzed factors that affect reaction efficiency, and statistically tested the correlation between the amplification signals and several factors. As a result, there were significant correlations between the amplification signals and the GC contents in the first 1～3 bps of primer 5′-end.

鸻形目鸟类线粒体基因组测序策略

鸻形目(Charadriiformes),全世界约有384个物种,分属于19科94属,种类繁多、分布广泛,是研究迁徙和觅食行为的良好材料。近年来,线粒体基因组的研究快速发展,由于样品难以收集,缺乏系统的测序策略,鸻形目鸟类线粒体基因组的研究相对滞后。引物设计对聚合酶链式反应(PCR)至关重要,一个成功的PCR实验依赖于高质量的特异性引物,本研究拟设计一套用于鸻形目鸟类线粒体基因组扩增的通用引物。对GenBank中现有的鸻形目物种线粒体基因组进行多重比对,发现若干个保守性区域,本研究在该区域设计13对扩增鸻形目鸟类线粒体基因组的通用引物,扩增的目的片段长度均在1.5 kb左右。我们选取4个物种,即灰头麦鸡(Vanellus cinereus)、丘鹬(Scolopax rusticola)、白腰草鹬(Tringaochropus)和针尾沙锥(Gallinagostenura),进行PCR扩增验证,设计的引物在4个物种中均能顺利扩增、测序,该引物在鸻形目鸟类线粒体基因组扩增中的具有普遍适用性。本研究设计的13对通用引物在扩增鸻形目物种线粒体全基因组中具有较强的应用价值,将为鸻形目的系统发育关系、种群遗传学和生物地理学研究提供珍贵的资源。

Attachment of non-culturable toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1 and Aeromonas spp. to the aquatic arthropod Gerris spinolae and plants in the River Ganga, Varanasi

Abstract DNA from Mycobacterium leprae , present in non-invasive clinical samples from leprosy patients, such as nasal secretion and hair bulbs, was submitted to amplification by the polymerase chain reaction using a M. leprae -specific repetitive sequence as a target. After optimization of sample processing and of the PCR conditions, we were able to detect DNA from M. leprae in both types of clinical samples, even from paucibacillary leprosy patients. The use of hair bulbs and nasal secretion as clinical samples for screening of household contacts and for the evaluation of a risk population, or for the follow-up of patients under chemotherapy, and monitoring of bacterial load is discussed.     

Diversity of DNA sequences among Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal detected by PCR-based DNA fingerprinting

Abstract Vibrio cholerae O139, a causative agent of a large epidemic of cholera-like illness, has suddenly emerged and spread widely over several months. To investigate the characteristics unique to O139, traditional typing techniques for V. cholerae , such as biochemical characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility and detection of toxin production, were performed, with the result that 145 O139 strains, except for two O139 strains isolated from Argentina and Germany, were indistinguishable from O1 strains. Thus, in order to clarify the genetical relatedness among O139 strains, and between O139 and O1 strains, the RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) DNA fingerprinting method was undertaken. Although the RAPD arrays in five O139 isolates from Vellore with one arbitrary primer were slightly different from the other O139 strains, the RAPD patterns of the 145 forty-five O139 strains except for two O139 strains from Argentina and Germany were quite similar to each other, but were different from those of O1 strains, indicating that those O139 epidemic strains are closely related to each other regardless of their place of isolation. Furthermore, the RAPD patterns of the O139 strains resembled those of E1 Tor strains rather than classical strain, and a small change in the RAPD pattern of O139 strains occurred during subculture for 200 generations. These results taken together suggested that O139 V. cholerae have emerged from a common origin associated with the E1 Tor strain.
