Bacteria of the genus Methylobacterium are widespread in the environment, but their ecological role in ecosystems, such as the plant phyllosphere, is not very well understood. To gain better insight into the distribution of different Methylobacterium species in diverse ecosystems, a rapid and specific cultivation-independent method for detection of these organisms and analysis of their community structure is needed. Therefore, 16S rRNA gene-targeted primers specific for this genus were designed and evaluated. These primers were used in PCR in combination with a reverse primer that binds to the tRNA(Ala) gene, which is located upstream of the 23S rRNA gene in the 16S-23S intergenic spacer (IGS). PCR products that were of different lengths were obtained due to the length heterogeneity of the IGS of different Methylobacterium species. This length variation allowed generation of fingerprints of Methylobacterium communities in environmental samples by automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis. The Methylobacterium communities on leaves of different plant species in a natural field were compared using this method. The new method allows rapid comparisons of Methylobacterium communities and is thus a useful tool to study Methylobacterium communities in different ecosystems. 相似文献

A PCR-mediated gene synthesis strategy involving the assembly of oligonucleotides representing only one of the strands. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
A modification of PCR-mediated gene synthesis strategy is introduced. This modification enables the synthesis of a gene from oligonucleotides comprising only one of the two strands. Bridging oligonucleotides (approximately 20-mers in length) complementary to the junctions of template strand oligonucleotides and two outer primers are also needed for PCR. A two-step PCR containing a first step of 10 cycles, followed by a second step of 20 cycles, differing only in the annealing conditions was used. A single-step PCR combining the two different cycle conditions could also be used successfully. Optimal conditions for gene synthesis (and amplification) are described. Human and porcine colipase genes (297 and 309 bp, respectively) have been successfully synthesized, cloned into the Invitrogen TA cloning vector and sequenced. There was absolutely no error in the clones that were sequenced. 相似文献

变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)在微生物生态学中的应用 总被引:47,自引:3,他引:44
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

Universal TA cloning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
TA cloning is one of the simplest and most efficient methods for the cloning of PCR products. The procedure exploits the terminal transferase activity of certain thermophilic DNA polymerases, including Thermus aquaticus (Taq) polymerase. Taq polymerase has non-template dependent activity which preferentially adds a single adenosine to the 3'-ends of a double stranded DNA molecule, and thus most of the molecules PCR amplified by Taq polymerase possess single 3'-A overhangs. The use of a linearized "T-vector" which has single 3'-T overhangs on both ends allows direct, high-efficiency cloning of PCR products, facilitated by complementarity between the PCR product 3'-A overhangs and vector 3'-T overhangs. The TA cloning method can be easily modified so that the same T-vector can be used to clone any double-stranded DNA fragment, including PCR products amplified by any DNA polymerase, as well as all blunt- and sticky-ended DNA species. This technique is especially useful when compatible restriction sites are not available for the subcloning of DNA fragments from one vector to another. Directional cloning is made possible by appropriate hemi-phosphorylation of both the T-vectors and the inserts. With a single T-vector at hand, any DNA fragment can be cloned without compromising the cloning efficiency. The universal TA cloning method is thus both convenient and labor-saving. 相似文献

The use of length-heterogeneity PCR was explored to monitor lactic acid bacteria succession during ensiling of maize. Bacterial diversity was studied during the fermentation of 30-day-old maize in optimal and spoilage-simulating conditions. A length heterogeneity PCR profile database of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the silage and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing was established. Although interoperonic 16S rRNA gene length polymorphisms were detected in some isolates, strain analysis showed that most of the lactic acid bacteria species thriving in silage could be discriminated by this method. The length heterogeneity PCR profiles of bacterial communities during maize fermentation were compared with those on a database. Under optimal fermentation conditions all the ecological indices of bacterial diversity, richness and evenness, deduced from community profiles, increased until day thirteen of fermentation and then decreased to the initial values. Pediococcus and Weissella dominated, especially in the first days of fermentation. Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and Lactobacillus brevis were mainly found after six days of fermentation. A peak corresponding to Lactobacillus plantarum was present in all the fermentation phases, but was only a minor fraction of the population. Unsuitable fermentation conditions and withered maize leaves in the presence of oxygen and water excess caused an enrichment of Enterococcus sp. and Enterobacter sp. 相似文献

Bifidobacterial diversity in human feces detected by genus-specific PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

We describe the development and validation of a method for the qualitative analysis of complex bifidobacterial communities based on PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Bifidobacterium genus-specific primers were used to amplify an approximately 520-bp fragment from the 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), and the fragments were separated in a sequence-specific manner in DGGE. PCR products of the same length from different bifidobacterial species showed good separation upon DGGE. DGGE of fecal 16S rDNA amplicons from five adult individuals showed host-specific populations of bifidobacteria that were stable over a period of 4 weeks. Sequencing of fecal amplicons resulted in Bifidobacterium-like sequences, confirming that the profiles indeed represent the bifidobacterial population of feces. Bifidobacterium adolescentis was found to be the most common species in feces of the human adult subjects in this study. The methodological approach revealed intragenomic 16S rDNA heterogeneity in the type strain of B. adolescentis, E-981074. The strain was found to harbor five copies of 16S rDNA, two of which were sequenced. The two 16S rDNA sequences of B. adolescentis E-981074(T) exhibited microheterogeneity differing in eight positions over almost the total length of the gene. 相似文献

Spatiotemporal Stability of an Ammonia-Oxidizing Community in a Nitrogen-Saturated Forest Soil 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Laverman AM Speksnijder AG Braster M Kowalchuk GA Verhoef HA Van Verseveld HW 《Microbial ecology》2001,42(1):35-45
Elevated levels of nitrogen input into various terrestrial environments in recent decades have led to increases in soil nitrate
production and leaching. However, nitrifying potential and nitrifying activity tend to be highly variable over space and time,
making broad-scale estimates of nitrate production difficult. This study investigates whether the high spatiotemporal variation
in nitrate production might be explained by differences in the structure of ammonia-oxidizing bacterial communities in nitrogen-saturated
coniferous forest soils. The diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria of the β-subgroup Proteobacteria was therefore investigated using two different PCR-based approaches. The first targeted the 16S rRNA gene and involved temporal
temperature gradient electrophoresis (TTGE) of specifically amplified PCR products, with subsequent band excision and nucleotide
sequence determination. The second approach involved the cloning and sequencing of PCR-amplified amoA gene fragments. All recovered 16S rDNA sequences were closely related to the culture strain Nitrosospira sp. AHB1, which was isolated from an acid soil and is affiliated with Nitrosospira cluster 2, a sequence group previously shown to be associated with acid environments. All amoA-like sequences also showed a close affinity with this acid-tolerant Nitrosospira strain, although greater sequence variation could be detected in the amoA analysis. The ammonia-oxidizing bacterial community in the nitrogen-saturated coniferous forest soil was determined to be
very stable, showing little variation between different organic layers and throughout the year, despite large differences
in the total Bacterial community structure as determined by 16S rDNA DGGE community fingerprinting. These results suggest
that environmental heterogeneity affecting ammonia oxidizer numbers and activity, and not ammonia oxidizer community structure,
is chiefly responsible for spatial and temporal variation in nitrate production in these acid forest soils. 相似文献

A novel vector for direct cloning PCR fragments by positive selection based on the lethal <Emphasis Type="Italic">barnase</Emphasis> 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A novel vector for direct PCR fragments cloning by positive selection, pBN, was constructed based on the lethal barnase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Barnase was modified by inserting an additional insert at a pivotal Ile-54 site, which could take crucial affect on protein structure
and absolute activity. The lacZ’ expressing cassette of pUC19 was replaced by the modified barnase under the NptIII promoter. This novel vector could exist in large quantities as pUC19 in E. coli hosts. For the direct cloning PCR fragments, the positive selective vector was prepared by linearizing pBN with EcoRV to cut off the additional insert. PCR fragments with different length were prepared to verify this vector by ligation with
this vector. The results showed that this positive selective vector for PCR fragment cloning was higher efficient and more
convenient in manipulation than previous positive vectors. 相似文献

Single-insert cloning of DNA fragments without restriction enzymes has traditionally been achieved using TA cloning, with annealing of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragment containing a single overhanging 3′ A to a plasmid vector containing a 3′ T. In this article, we show that the analogous “CG cloning” is faster and far more efficient, using AhdI to generate a C-vector. For an afternoon ligation, CG cloning achieved double the cloning efficiency and more than 4-fold the number of transformants compared with TA cloning. However, blunt-end ligation was markedly more efficient than both. CG cloning could prove to be extremely useful for single-copy high-throughput cloning. 相似文献

The diversity of the phytobenthonic community present in six acidophilic microbial mats from Río Tinto (Iberian Pyritic Belt, SW Spain) was analysed by optical microscopy and two molecular techniques, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and sequence analysis of 18S rDNA cloned gene fragments. Sixteen DNA isolation protocols as well as two commercial DNA extraction kits were tested and their efficiency compared. Purified DNA extracts were amplified by PCR using universal eukaryotic primers and the PCR products analysed by DGGE. Bead-mill homogenization was found to be superior to the other cell lysis methodologies assayed (sonication or freeze-thawing cycles) as it allowed efficiencies of cell disruption of over 95%. The methods combining bead-mill homogenization in the presence of SDS, treatment with chemical extractants (hexadecylmethylammonium bromide or guanidine isothiocyanate) and phenol extraction resulted in DNA preparations that amplified the same number of bands when analysed by DGGE as the two commercial kits assayed. The phylogenetic affiliations of the DGGE bands were determined by a BLAST search, and nine different species related to the Chlorophyta, Ciliophora, Kinetoplastida, Ascomycota, Streptophyta and Colcochaetales taxonomical groups were identified. Similar levels of diversity were found using cloning procedures. Although not all the species observed under the microscope were detected using molecular techniques, e.g. euglenas, heliozoan, or amoebae, DGGE fingerprints showed rather well the level of diversity present in the samples analysed, with limitations similar to cloning techniques. 相似文献

A comparison of DNA profiling techniques for monitoring nutrient impact on microbial community composition during bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soils 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Mills DK Fitzgerald K Litchfield CD Gillevet PM 《Journal of microbiological methods》2003,54(1):57-74
Amplicon length heterogeneity PCR (LH-PCR) and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms (TRFLP) were used to monitor the impact that nutrient amendments had on microbial community dynamics and structural diversity during bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soils. Slurried soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons were treated in airlift bench-scale bioreactors and were either amended with optimal inorganic nutrients or left unamended. Direct DNA extraction and PCR amplification of whole eubacterial community DNA were performed with universal primers that bracketed the first two or three hypervariable regions of the 16S rDNA gene sequences. The LH-PCR method profiled a more diverse microbial community than did the TRFLP method. The LH-PCR method also tracked differences between the communities due to nutrient amendments. An in silico database search for bacterial genera with amplicon lengths represented in the community fingerprints was performed. It was possible to qualitatively identify different groups in the microbial community based on the amplicon length variations. A similar "virtual" search was performed for the TRFLP fragments using the web-based TAP-TRFLP program. Cloning and sequencing of the PCR products confirmed the in silico database matches. The application of the LH-PCR method as a monitoring tool for bioremediation could greatly enhance and extend the current understanding of the microbial community dynamics during the biodegradation of environmental contaminants. 相似文献

应用rpoB和16S rDNA基因的变性梯度凝胶电泳技术对山羊瘤胃细菌多样性的研究 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
采用免培养的rpoB和16S rDNA基因的变性梯度凝胶电泳技术(DGGE)对3种山羊(波尔山羊,内蒙古绒山羊,四川南江黄羊)瘤胃细菌优势菌群结构进行了比较分析。研究结果显示rpoBDGGE图谱中条带数目少于16S rDNA图谱,并且条带分离效果明显,更有利于分析瘤胃细菌群落组成。从两种DGGE图谱中均可以发现3种山羊瘤胃细菌具有一定的相似性,种内个体间相似性明显高于种间相似性,这说明寄主品种是影响瘤胃细菌种群构成的一个重要因素。同时进行了部分优势细菌16S rDNA基因V6-V8区序列的系统发育分析。基因序列分析表明,DGGE图谱中优势条带的16S rDNA基因序列中有4条克隆的序列与基因库最相似菌的相似性大于97%,余下的克隆序列相似性在89%~96%之间,其中13条序列的与之相似性最高的序列均来自于未被鉴定的瘤胃细菌。 相似文献
