Long-term stability of the human gut microbiota in two different rat strains

Human microbiota associated rats are frequently used as a model to study host microbe interactions. This study investigated the long-term stability of the bacterial community in such rats. Following the association of two strains of germ-free rats (12 male animals each) with fecal bacteria from a human donor the development of the microbiota was monitored for 12 months by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. During this time the Dice similarity coefficient (Cs) for the fecal microbial community of the rats associated with a human microbiota in comparison to the donor sample ranged between 73% +/- 8 and 74% +/- 3 for the Wistar and the Fischer 344 rats, respectively. After 12 months the similarity coefficients were 78% +/- 9 and 76% +/- 7, respectively, while the similarity coefficients for rat sample replicates ranged from 77% +/- 7 to 88% +/- 5; the similarity coefficient of the donor sample replicates was 78% +/- 9. DNA sequences of bands observed in the different denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis profiles exhibited the highest degree of identity to uncultured bacteria previously found in samples of human, mouse or pig intestinal origin. The results of this study suggest that the dominant human fecal microbiota can be maintained in the human microbiota associated rat model for at least one year.

肠杆菌基因间重复共有序列（Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus,ERIC）是主要存在于肠道细菌中的一类基因间重复序列,长度为127 bp,该序列在肠道细菌染色体上的分布和拷贝数有种间的特异性。根据ERIC序列建立的ERIC-PCR实际上是一种半随机性质的PCR,广泛应用于细菌分型、流行病学调查和分子微生态学研究。本文简介了ERIC-PCR反应的特点及其应用的原理,详细阐述目前广泛应用的ERIC-PCR琼脂糖凝胶电泳（PCR-PCR-AGE）技术的不足,指出该方法所获电泳图谱中相同位置的DNA条带可能包括不同的DNA序列,指纹图谱分析时可能夸大模板DNA的相似性。强调ERIC-PCR变性梯度凝胶电泳（PCR-PCR-DGGE）技术是其应用的一个新方向,所得的指纹图谱能够更加敏感、准确、有效地展示底物序列的差异,其中的DNA条带不需测序就可直接用于科研和生产实践中。     

ERIC-PCR fingerprinting-based community DNA hybridization to pinpoint genome-specific fragments as molecular markers to identify and track populations common to healthy human guts

Bacterial populations common to healthy human guts may play important roles in human health. A new strategy for discovering genomic sequences as markers for these bacteria was developed using Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC)-PCR fingerprinting. Structural features within microbial communities are compared with ERIC-PCR followed by DNA hybridization to identify genomic fragments shared by samples from healthy human individuals. ERIC-PCR profiles of fecal samples from 12 diseased or healthy human and piglet subjects demonstrated stable, unique banding patterns for each individual tested. Sequence homology of DNA fragments in bands of identical size was examined between samples by hybridization under high stringency conditions with DIG-labeled ERIC-PCR products derived from the fecal sample of one healthy child. Comparative analysis of the hybridization profiles with the original agarose fingerprints identified three predominant bands as signatures for populations associated with healthy human guts with sizes of 500, 800 and 1000 bp. Clone library profiling of the three bands produced 17 genome fragments, three of which showed high similarity only with regions of the Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron genome, while the remainder were orphan sequences. Association of these sequences with healthy guts was validated by sequence-selective PCR experiments, which showed that a single fragment was present in all 32 healthy humans and 13 healthy piglets tested. Two fragments were present in the healthy human group and in 18 children with non-infectious diarrhea but not in eight children with infectious diarrhea. Genome fragments identified with this novel strategy may be used as genome-specific markers for dynamic monitoring and sequence-guided isolation of functionally important bacterial populations in complex communities such as human gut microflora.

Comparative metabolic diversity in two solar salterns

The purpose of this study was to compare the metabolic diversity of the whole microbial community in an oligotrophic saltern (Eilat, Israel) and in a saltern with a more enriched source water (Newark, California). Between 1993 and 1998 water samples were taken from selected locations within the solar salterns of the Cargill Solar Salt Plant, Newark, California, and the Israel Salt Co. in Eilat, Israel. To examine the whole community metabolic diversity, we used the 96-well BIOLOG GN^{{ TM}} plates which contain 95 different carbon sources and a control well. Plates from samples containing greater than 15% salt were excluded from the final analyses because of a lack of reproducibility when multiple plates were inoculated with the same sample. The data were analyzed by simple matching coefficient and principal component analysis. Both methods gave similar results. Two major clusters were formed. These could be subdivided into 10 sub-clusters with only three samples from the Newark saltern in December 1997 joining at the 95% similarity level. Most of the inlet and lower salinity samples from the Cargill samples comprised one large subcluster. Several carbon sources were used by 85% of the microbial community from the California samples, while 85% of the Eilat samples had no commonly used carbon sources. These results suggest that ponds in different geographic locations may have communities with different microbial populations despite the similarities in salt content and processing for salt production.     

rep-PCR fingerptinting as a tool for the analysis of genomic diversity in Escherichia coli strains isolated from an aqueous/freshwater environment

The rep-PCR fingerprinting method, with the support of ERIC and REP primers, was used to analyse the genomic diversity of 93 E. coli strains isolated from lake water samples drawn at two different depths. The applied UPGMA for DNA analysis did not reveale any genomic similarities between the 48 E. coli strains derived from the subsurface-zone water and the 43 of the bottom-zone water. The considerable genomic diversity of the E. coli of the surface zone was expressed as a dendrogram in the form of 8 similarity groups comprising strains isolated from samples drawn over one month. The bottom-zone strains, which display a lesser degree of genomic diversity (5 similarity groups), showed distinct common features in their DNA fingerprints. In the similarity dendrogram for the bottom-zone, strains derived in different months of sampling were segregated into the same similarity groups. Applying REP primers in rep-PCR generates more complex fingerprints increasing the discriminatory power of the analysis, whereas the ERIC primer generates less complex fingerprint patterns, and is thus clearer to interpret.     

Molecular analysis of the luminal- and mucosal-associated intestinal microbiota in diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome

Alterations in the intestinal microbiota have been suggested as an etiological factor in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This study used a molecular fingerprinting technique to compare the composition and biodiversity of the microbiota within fecal and mucosal niches between patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (D-IBS) and healthy controls. Terminal-restriction fragment (T-RF) length polymorphism (T-RFLP) fingerprinting of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene was used to perform microbial community composition analyses on fecal and mucosal samples from patients with D-IBS (n = 16) and healthy controls (n = 21). Molecular fingerprinting of the microbiota from fecal and colonic mucosal samples revealed differences in the contribution of T-RFs to the microbiota between D-IBS patients and healthy controls. Further analysis revealed a significantly lower (1.2-fold) biodiversity of microbes within fecal samples from D-IBS patients than healthy controls (P = 0.008). No difference in biodiversity in mucosal samples was detected between D-IBS patients and healthy controls. Multivariate analysis of T-RFLP profiles demonstrated distinct microbial communities between luminal and mucosal niches in all samples. Our findings of compositional differences in the luminal- and mucosal-associated microbiota between D-IBS patients and healthy controls and diminished microbial biodiversity in D-IBS fecal samples further support the hypothesis that alterations in the intestinal microbiota may have an etiological role in the pathogenesis of D-IBS and suggest that luminal and mucosal niches need to be investigated.
