Application of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA analysis to differentiate strains of Salmonella typhi and other Salmonella species

A Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting method was developed to differentiate isolates of Salmonella serotype typhi ( S. typhi ) and other Salmonella isolates. A panel of five primers was used to examine 63 isolates of Salm. typhi , including 56 strains isolated in Taiwan and seven strains obtained abroad. Twenty-one RAPD types were revealed using the RAPD fingerprinting method. An RAPD with primer 6032 yielded a polymorphism in a 350 bp fragment that differentiated the attenuated vaccine strain Salm. typhi Ty21a from the rest of the Salm. typhi strains. Strains of Salm. typhi were divided into five types with primer D14307. Primer D14307 also proved capable of discrimination among 65 other Salmonella isolates representing 42 different serotypes. The bacterial DNA used in this RAPD protocol was obtained using a commercially available DNA extraction kit (GeneReleaser). The DNA of various strains of Salmonella from this simple extraction procedure could be discriminated within a few hours using the RAPD technique.     

Glutamine Synthetase Activity, Relative Water Content and Water Potential in Maize Submitted to Drought

Primer screening and optimization for random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) was investigated. Among four series (A, B, D and N) of 10-mer primers, A-series performed better amplification of fragments than other series. The maximum amplification fragments was obtained using OPA-02, OPA-03, OPA-09, OPB-06, OPB-10, OPD-03, OPD-05 and OPN-03 primers. The primers OPA-02 and OPN-03 produced maximum number of DNA fragments in Anacardium occidentale cv. H-320. Primers (OPB-08 and OPN-05 performed a least number of amplification fragments. RAPD profile also indicate that some primer did not produce good amplification. The primer OPA-02 amplified 12 number of polymorphic bands in 20 cultivars of cashew. Only one DNA fragment was produced in A. occidentale cv. Vridhachalam - 2 (M-44/3) by using the primer OPA-02. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Identification of genetic markers for Korean native cattle (Hanwoo) by RAPD analysis

In order to develop the specific genetic marker for Korean native cattle (Hanwoo), randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of 6 different cattle breeds was attempted by using 38 decamer primers. In comparison of RAPD patterns, two distinctive DNA bands specific for Hanwoo were detected. One was 296 bp of DNA fragment found to be specific only for female Hanwoo when primer GTCCACACGG was employed. In individual analysis of this RAPD marker was observed only in female individuals with the possibility of 85.3%. The other was 521 bp of RAPD marker amplified using TCGGCGATAG and AGCCAGCGAA primers, which showed 83.0% of genetic frequency in 85 male and 68 female individuals tested. Nucleotide sequencing of these genetic markers revealed that 296 bp marker has a short microsatellite-like sequence, ACCACCACAC, and a tandem repeat sequence of microsatellite GAAAAATG in the determined sequence. Two distinctive tandem repeats of microsatellite sequences, AAC and GAAGA, were also appeared in 521 bp DNA marker. In BLAST search, any gene having high homology with these markers was not found

Recombinant bovine interferon alpha causes only a temporary prolongation of the lifespan of the corpus luteum

Abstract

A method is described for developing a sheep‐ vs. goat‐specific DNA marker using sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs) derived from a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker from sheep DNA samples. A sheep 645 bp DNA fragment that was absent in goat DNA was identified by analyzing pools of sheep and goat DNA with RAPD primers. This fragment was cloned and partially sequenced to design extended, strand‐specific 24‐mer oligonucleotide primers. Each primer contained the original 10 bases of the RAPD primer and the following 14 internal bases. The pair of primers resulted in the amplification of a single band of 645 bp when used to amplify sheep DNA, and in no amplification when used to amplify goat DNA. These SCAR primers successfully amplified the equivalent of DNA from one nucleated sheep cell in a sample of 5000 nucleated goat cells. This level of sensitivity is especially desirable for research involving the detection of interspecific chimerism.     

Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) of Salmonella: strain differentiation and characterization of amplified sequences

Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was evaluated for its ability to differentiate Salmonella strains from various sources. Under defined conditions RAPD using a 10-mer primer (1254) produced a series of amplification products able to reproducibly distinguish strains representing 20 different serotypes of Salmonella. Primer 1254 also proved capable of discrimination between some but not all isolates of Salm. ser. Enteritidis and Salm. ser. Typhimurium, phage typing proving to be most discriminatory for the latter serotype. Cloning of fragments into a vector allowed sequencing and database searching for identification of fragments and an indication of criteria for primer template interaction in RAPD. Southern blotting using a digoxigenin-labelled probe allowed identification of related bands between RAPD profiles. These observations demonstrate the potential of rapid molecular typing by RAPD for the genomic typing of Salmonella strains.

Development of molecular RAPD marker for the identification of Pediococcus acidilactici strains

A RAPD analysis performed using a single primer targeted to the pediocin AcH/PA-1 gene was carried out on several P. acidilactici strains and on some related species of lactic acid bacteria. The high degree of genetic variability detected in P. acidilactici strains did not allow the selection of a common RAPD fragment that could be chosen as a potential species-specific DNA marker. Nevertheless a 700 bp fragment, that was found to be peculiar of all potential pediocin producer strains analyzed, was cloned and sequenced with the aim to develop a species specific PCR marker. Sequence analysis of the cloned 700 bp fragment showed one putative small open reading frame (ORF1), with no significant homology with known genes, and a partial putative second coding region (ORF2) with a high degree of similarity with several methionyl tRNA synthesis (metS) genes. The two coding regions were separated by a short spacer region. Primers targeted to ORF2 plus part of the spacer region and primers designed for the amplification of the entire cloned RAPD fragment were found to be species-specific for the detection of P. acidilactici strains. Furthermore primers designed on the ORF1 sequence allowed the amplification of a 439 bp fragment only in some P. acidilactici strains, including pediocin producing strains.

PCR-based DNA Markers for Identifying Hybrids within Phytophthora alni

Two pairs of oligonucleotide primers were designed for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based detection and differential identification of naturally occurring interspecific hybrid types (subspecies) of Phytophthora alni, all of which cause collar rot of alder trees. Primer pairs were derived from randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments that were unique to various subspecies of this alder pathogen. The primer pair set, SAP1/SAP2 (SAP), was derived from a 0.93‐kb RAPD fragment amplified from P. alni ssp. alni. The primer pair set, SWAP1/SWAP2 (SWAP), was derived from a 1.13‐kb fragment amplified from P. alni ssp. uniformis. Patterns of SAP and SWAP amplification enabled distinction among the three subspecies. No PCR products were amplified from isolates of 31 other Phytophthora spp. examined, including P. cambivora and P. fragariae, the suspected progenitors of P. alni. The SAP and SWAP primer sets were able to detect a minimum of 10 pg of DNA from pure cultures or DNA extracted from as few as 10 zoospores. Pathogen DNA could also be amplified directly from bark lesions of artificially inoculated and naturally infected common alders and from lesions developed on common cherry‐laurel leaves used in baiting the pathogen from infested soil. Direct detection of pathogen DNA from alder tissue using SAP and SWAP primer sets should prove useful in developing measures for effective quarantine and management of P. alni.     

Specific and sensitive detection of Nosema bombi (Microsporidia: Nosematidae) in bumble bees (Bombus spp.; Hymenoptera: Apidae) by PCR of partial rRNA gene sequences

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based method was developed for the specific and sensitive diagnosis of the microsporidian parasite Nosema bombi in bumble bees (Bombus spp.). Four primer pairs, amplifying ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene fragments, were tested on N. bombi and the related microsporidia Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae, both of which infect honey bees. Only primer pair Nbombi-SSU-Jf1/Jr1 could distinguish N. bombi (323bp amplicon) from these other bee parasites. Primer pairs Nbombi-SSU-Jf1/Jr1 and ITS-f2/r2 were then tested for their sensitivity with N. bombi spore concentrations from 10(7) down to 10 spores diluted in 100 microl of either (i) water or (ii) host bumble bee homogenate to simulate natural N. bombi infection (equivalent to the DNA from 10(6) spores down to 1 spore per PCR). Though the N. bombi-specific primer pair Nbombi-SSU-Jf1/Jr1 was relatively insensitive, as few as 10 spores per extract (equivalent to 1 spore per PCR) were detectable using the N. bombi-non-specific primer pair ITS-f2/r2, which amplifies a short fragment of approximately 120 bp. Testing 99 bumble bees for N. bombi infection by light microscopy versus PCR diagnosis with the highly sensitive primer pair ITS-f2/r2 showed the latter to be more accurate. PCR diagnosis of N. bombi using a combination of two primer pairs (Nbombi-SSU-Jf1/Jr1 and ITS-f2/r2) provides increased specificity, sensitivity, and detection of all developmental stages compared with light microscopy.     

Molecular detection and genotyping of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. psidii isolates from different agro-ecological regions of India

Twenty one isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. psidii (Fop), causing a vascular wilt in guava (Psidium guajava L.), were collected from different agro-ecological regions of India. The pathogenicity test was performed in guava seedlings, where the Fop isolates were found to be highly pathogenic. All 21 isolates were confirmed as F. oxysporum f. sp. psidii by a newly developed, species-specific primer against the conserved regions of 28S rDNA and the intergenic spacer region. RAPD and PCR-RFLP were used for genotyping the isolates to determine their genetic relationships. Fifteen RAPD primers were tested, of which five primers produced prominent, polymorphic, and reproducible bands. RAPD yielded an average of 6.5 polymorphic bands per primer, with the amplified DNA fragments ranging from 200–2,000 bp in size. A dendrogram constructed from these data indicated a 22–74% level of homology. In RFLP analysis, two major bands (350 and 220 bp) were commonly present in all isolates of F. oxysporum. These findings provide new insight for rapid, specific, and sensitive disease diagnosis. However, genotyping could be useful in strain-level discrimination of isolates from different agro-ecological regions of India.
