FISH技术在微生物生态学中的研究及进展 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
分子生物学技术在微生物生态学研究中具有灵敏、精确和快速的优势,但不能提供微生物的形态学、数量性状、空间分布等信息。荧光原位杂交技术结合了分子生物学的精确性和显微镜的可视性信息,可以在自然生境中监测和鉴定不同的微生物个体,尤其是对难培养和未被培养的微生物进行检测。荧光原位杂交技术被广泛用于微生物群落结构诊断和评价,现已成为微生物分子生态学研究中的热点技术。对荧光原位杂交技术的发展和在微生物分子生态学中的应用进行了综述,探讨了该技术应用中存在的问题和发展前景。 相似文献

二次离子显微镜是由离子源激发样品表面原子产生二次离子,通过质谱仪将不同原子产生的离子分离并在显示系统上成像,以确定不同元素在样品中的分布图。较高的图像分辨率(0.5—1μm)和极高的灵敏度(浓度低于10-19g/μm3)使得生物样品含有极低浓度甚至是痕迹量的元素分析成为可能。目前,二次离子显微镜已广泛应用于细胞生物学、核医学、植物生理学和人类病理学等领域。 相似文献

微生物是湖泊生物圈物质循环和能量流动的主要参与者,在湖泊的生态系统中起着重要的作用。但是,湖泊中存在着大量不可培养的细菌,利用传统的培养技术,无法对湖泊微生物的多样性进行深入而全面的研究,而不依赖培养的分子生物学技术的发展为此方面研究开辟了新的路径。微生物分子生态学作为分子生物学与微生物生态学交叉产生的学科,在研究湖泊微生物多样性方面已经得到了广泛的应用。主要综述了变性梯度凝胶电泳(PCR-DGGE)技术,末端限制性酶切片段长度多态性技术(T-RFLP),16SrDNA克隆文库技术等微生物分子生态学技术在研究湖泊微生物多样性方面的应用情况。 相似文献

由于从环境样品中分离和培养细菌的困难,分子生物学方法已发展用来描述和鉴定微生物群落。近年来基于DNA方法的群落分析得到了迅速的发展,如PCR扩增技术,克隆文库法,荧光原位杂交法,限制性酶切片段长度多态性法,变性和温度梯度凝胶电泳法。DGGE已广泛用于分析自然环境中细菌、蓝细菌,古菌、微微型真核生物、真核生物和病毒群落的生物多样性。这一技术能够提供群落中优势种类信息和同时分析多个样品。具有可重复和容易操作等特点,适合于调查种群的时空变化,并且可通过对切下的带进行序列分析或与特异性探针杂交分析鉴定群落成员。DGGE分析微生物群落的一般步骤如下:一是核酸的提取,二是16S rRNA,18S rRNA或功能基因如可容性甲烷加单氧酶羟化酶基因(mmoX)和氨加单氧酶a一亚单位基因(amoA)片段的扩增,三是通过DGGE分析PCR产物。DGGE使用具有化学变性剂梯度的聚丙烯酰胺凝胶,该凝胶能够有区别的解链PCR扩增产物。由PCR产生的不同的DNA片段长度相同但核苷酸序列不同。因此不同的双链DNA片段由于沿着化学梯度的不同解链行为将在凝胶的不同位置上停止迁移。DNA解链行为的不同导致一个凝胶带图案,该图案是微生物群落中主要种类的一个轮廓。DGGE使用所有生物中保守的基因片段如细菌中的16S rRNA基因片段和真菌中的18S rRNA基因片段。然而同其他分子生物学方法一样,DGGE也有缺陷,其中之一是只能分离较小的片段,使用于系统发育分析比较和探针设计的序列信息量受到了限制。在某些情况下,由于所用基因的多拷贝导致一个种类多于一条带,因此不易鉴定群落结构到种的水平。此外,该技术具有内在的如单一细菌种类16S rDNA拷贝之间的异质性问题,可导致自然群落中微生物数量的过多估计。DGGE是分析微生物群落的一种有力的工具。不过为了减少DGGE和其它技术的缺陷,建议研究者结合DGGE和其它分子及微生物学方法以便更详细的观察微生物的群落结构和功能。 相似文献

The Northern Baffin Bay between Greenland and Canada is a remote Arctic area restricted in primary production by seasonal ice cover, with presumably low sedimentation rates, carbon content and microbial activities in its sediments. Our aim was to study the so far unknown subseafloor geochemistry and microbial populations driving seafloor ecosystems. Shelf sediments had the highest organic carbon content, numbers of Bacteria and Archaea, and microcosms inoculated from Shelf sediments showed highest sulfate reduction and methane production rates. Sediments in the central deep area and on the southern slope contained less organic carbon and overall lower microbial numbers. Similar 16S rRNA gene copy numbers of Archaea and Bacteria were found for the majority of the sites investigated. Sulfate in pore water correlated with dsrA copy numbers of sulfate-reducing prokaryotes and differed between sites. No methane was found as free gas in the sediments, and mcrA copy numbers of methanogenic Archaea were low. Methanogenic and sulfate-reducing cultures were enriched on a variety of substrates including hydrocarbons. In summary, the Greenlandic shelf sediments contain vital microbial communities adapted to their specific environmental conditions. 相似文献

Biological wastewater treatment has been applied for more than a century to ameliorate anthropogenic damage to the environment.
But only during the last decade the use of molecular tools allowed to accurately determine the composition, and dynamics of
activated sludge and biofilm microbial communities. Novel, in many cases yet not cultured bacteria were identified to be responsible
for filamentous bulking and foaming as well as phosphorus and nitrogen removal in these systems. Now, methods are developed
to infer the in situ physiology of these bacteria. Here we provide an overview of what is currently known about the identity and physiology of
some of the microbial key players in activated sludge and biofilm systems.

The use of nanoSIMS for the exploration of microbial activities in natural habitats often implies that stable isotope tracer experiments are combined with in situ hybridization techniques (i.e. fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD)-FISH). In this study, Pseudomonas putida grown on 13C- and 15N-labeled carbon and nitrogen, collected in exponential growth and stationary phases, was hybridized and analyzed by nanoSIMS. It was shown that 13C and 15N fractions decreased after FISH and CARD-FISH in comparison to chemically untreated cells. However, the fractions were influenced differently by various treatments. After paraformaldehyde fixation of exponentially growing cells, a reduction of the 13C and 15N fractions was measured from 94 ± 1.2% and 89.5 ± 3.8% to 90.2 ± 0.8% and 64 ± 4.6%, respectively, indicating that nitrogen isotopic composition was most influenced. A further decrease of the 13C and 15N fractions to 80.7 ± 6.5 and 59.5 ± 4.1%, respectively, was measured after FISH, while CARD-FISH decreased the fractions to 57.4 ± 3.0% and 47.1 ± 4.1%, respectively. The analysis of cells collected in different growth phases revealed that the effect of various treatments seemed to be dependent on the cell's physiological state. In addition, a mathematical model that can be used in further studies was developed in order to calculate the amount of carbon introduced into the cells by chemical treatments. These results can be valuable for environmental FISH-nanoSIMS studies where the isotopic composition of single cells will be used to quantitatively assess the importance of specific populations to certain biochemical processes and determine budget estimations. 相似文献

The increasing use of genetic information for the development of methods to study the diversity, distributions, and activities of protists in nature has spawned a new generation of powerful tools. For ecologists, one lure of these approaches lies in the potential for DNA sequences to provide the only immediately obvious means of normalizing the diverse criteria that presently exist for identifying and counting protists. A single, molecular taxonomy would allow studies of diversity across a broad range of species, as well as the detection and quantification of particular species of interest within complex, natural assemblages; goals that are not feasible using traditional methods. However, these advantages are not without their potential pitfalls and problems. Conflicts involving the species concept, disagreements over the true (physiological/ecological) meaning of genetic diversity, and a perceived threat by some that sequence information will displace knowledge regarding the morphologies, functions and physiologies of protistan taxa, have created debate and doubt regarding the efficacy and appropriateness of some genetic approaches. These concerns need continued discussion and eventual resolution as we move toward the irresistible attraction, and potentially enormous benefits, of the application of genetic approaches to protistan ecology. 相似文献

An inexpensive microcomputer-based image analysis system is described in which an Apple microcomputer acquires data from a video camera or video cassette recorder and measures the brightness of the image received at specified points or areas. Suggested uses for this apparatus include measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence in algal cells, determination of the effects of ultraviolet illumination on chlorophyll fluorescence, estimation of total amounts of chlorophyll in a microscope field, and microspectrophotometic and microdensitometic measurements. A similar ssytem using the IBM personal computer with a different interface is also described. 相似文献

Most microorganisms remain uncultivated, and typically their ecological roles must be inferred from diversity and genomic studies. To directly measure functional roles of uncultivated microbes, we developed Chip-stable isotope probing (SIP), a high-sensitivity, high-throughput SIP method performed on a phylogenetic microarray (chip). This approach consists of microbial community incubations with isotopically labeled substrates, hybridization of the extracted community rRNA to a microarray and measurement of isotope incorporation—and therefore substrate use—by secondary ion mass spectrometer imaging (NanoSIMS). Laboratory experiments demonstrated that Chip-SIP can detect isotopic enrichment of 0.5 atom % 13C and 0.1 atom % 15N, thus permitting experiments with short incubation times and low substrate concentrations. We applied Chip-SIP analysis to a natural estuarine community and quantified amino acid, nucleic acid or fatty acid incorporation by 81 distinct microbial taxa, thus demonstrating that resource partitioning occurs with relatively simple organic substrates. The Chip-SIP approach expands the repertoire of stable isotope-enabled methods available to microbial ecologists and provides a means to test genomics-generated hypotheses about biogeochemical function in any natural environment. 相似文献
