采用PCR-RFLP技术在不同水平上鉴定大豆根瘤菌

采用16S rRNA基因PCR扩增与限制性酶切片段多态性分析(RFLP)技术对选自弗氏中华根瘤菌(S.fredii)、大豆慢生根瘤菌(B.japonicum)和埃氏慢生根瘤菌(B.elkanii)的19株代表菌进行了比较分析,根据用3种限制性内切酶的RFLP分析结果,可将供试菌株分为S.fredii,B.japonicum, B.elkanii Ⅱ和B.elkanii Ⅱa等4种基因型。各类菌株之间没有交叉,因此本研究采用的PCR-RFLP技术不失为一种快速鉴别大豆根瘤菌的新方法。采用本技术已将分离自中国的22株快生菌和19株慢生菌分别鉴定为S.fredii和B.japonicum。对供试参比菌株和野生型菌株进行的16S～23S基因间隔DNA(IGS)的PCR-RFLP分析结果表明：S.fredii和B.japonicum菌株的IGS长度不同,所有供试S.fredii菌株的IGS为2.1 kb,而供试B.japonicum菌株则为2.0 kb。依据RFLP的差异,可将来自中国两个不同地区的S.fredii株区分为2个基因型,而来自中国东北黑龙江地区的19株B.japonicum菌株则可分为11个基因型。对上述野生型菌株还进行了REP-PCR和ERIC-PCR分析并确定其具有菌株水平的特异性。

Molecular characterization of Serratia marcescens strains by RFLP and sequencing of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer

AIMS: To establish the specific DNA patterns in 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) regions from different kinds of Serratia marcescens strains using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequences analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two pairs of primers based on the 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA IGS were applied to amplify the rrn operons of two kinds of S. marcescens strains. About 1500 bp for 16S rDNA and four fragments of different sizes for 16S-23S rDNA IGS were obtained. PCR-amplified fragments were analysed by RFLP and sequence analysis. Two distinct restriction patterns revealing three to five bands between two kinds of strains were detected with each specific enzyme. According to the sequence analysis, two kinds of strains showed approximately 97% sequence homology of 16S rDNA. However, there was much difference in the sequences of IGS between the two kinds of strains. Intercistronic tRNA of strains H3010 and A3 demonstrated an order of tRNA of 5'-16S-tRNA(Ala)-tRNA(Ile)-23S-3', but strain B17 harboured the tRNA of 5'-16S-tRNA(Glu)-tRNA(Ile)-23S-3'. CONCLUSIONS: The method was specific, sensitive and accurate, providing a new technique for differentiating different strains from the same species. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This paper provided the first molecular characterization of 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA IGS from S. marcescens strains.     

金针菇rDNA序列结构特征分析

rDNA序列中的ITS作为DNA barcoding广泛应用于真菌的系统发育与物种辅助鉴定,IGS被认为可以用于种内水平不同菌株的鉴别。食用菌中还没有完整的rDNA序列的报道。本研究采用二代和三代测序技术分别对金针菇单核菌株“6-3”进行测序,用二代测序的数据对三代测序组装得到的基因组序列进行修正,得到一个在基因完整性、连续性和准确性均较好的基因组序列,对比Fibroporia vaillantii rDNA序列,获得金针菇完整的rDNA序列。金针菇rDNA序列结构分析表明,它有8个rDNA转录单元,长度均为5 903bp,有9个基因间隔区,其长度有较大差异,3 909-4 566bp。rDNA转录单元中,各元件的序列长度分别为：18S rDNA 1 796bp、ITS1 234bp、5.8S rDNA 173bp、ITS2 291bp、28S rDNA 3 410bp。基因间间隔区中,IGS1 1 351-1 399bp、5S rDNA 124bp、IGS2 2 435-3 092bp。金针菇的5S、5.8S、18S、28S rDNA序列准确性得到转录组数据的验证,也得到系统发育分析结果的支持。多序列比对发现,不同拷贝的基因间间隔区序列（IGS1和IGS2）存在丰富的多态性,多态性来源于SNP、InDel和TRS（串联重复序列）,而TRS来源于重复单元的类型和数量。9个基因间间隔区之间,IGS1只有少量的SNP和InDel,IGS2不仅有SNP和InDel,还有TRS。本研究结果提示,在应用IGS进行种内水平不同菌株之间的鉴别时,需要选取不同拷贝之间的保守IGS序列。     

毛木耳rDNA序列结构及IGS鉴别菌种初探

rDNA序列中的ITS作为DNA barcode广泛应用于真菌的系统发育与物种辅助鉴定,IGS被认为可以用于种内水平不同菌株的鉴别。有关食用菌rDNA序列的报道较少。本研究对毛木耳Auricularia cornea单核菌株B02进行三代测序与组装,然后用二代测序数据进行校正,得到一个组装效果较好的基因组序列。比对Fibroporia vaillantiir的rDNA序列获得毛木耳rDNA重复单元的完整序列,每个重复单元包含ETS、18S rDNA、ITS1、5.8S rDNA、ITS2、28S rDNA、IGS1、5S rDNA和IGS2,长度分别为398bp、1 790bp、156bp、156bp、206bp、3 432bp、2 247bp、121bp和2 135bp,总长度10 641bp,毛木耳rDNA有310个串联重复单元,转录组和系统发育分析均支持这一结果。与其他已报道的食用菌不同,毛木耳的IGS1、IGS2序列高度保守,其中IGS1的1 400-2 200bp区域在各拷贝之间没有多态性、而在品种之间有较高频率的SNP,这一片段序列有望用于品种鉴别研究。     

Organization of the ribosomal operon 165-235 gene spacer region in representatives of Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Ribosomal rRNA gene fragments (rDNA) encompassing part of the 16S rDNA, the 16S-23S rDNA spacer region and part of the 23S rDNA of 229 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains were enzymatically amplified using conserved primers. The fragments of approximately 1200 bp were subjected to restriction analysis with HinfI. This revealed 13 patterns (patterns I-XIII) of which patterns I (78 strains), II (32 strains), III (38 strains) and IV (56 strains) were the most abundant, comprising 89.1% of the strains. The obtained restriction patterns consisted of 3 to 8 bands, ranging in size from 32 to 854 bp. The sum of the obtained bands was about 1200 bp for patterns I, II, III, IV, V, IX, and XIII. However, for patterns VI, VII, VIII, X, XI and XII, the sum of the bands well exceeded the estimated size of approximately 1200 bp. We demonstrated that this results from sequence divergence in the 4 rRNA operons, present in the genome of N. gonorrhoeae, giving rise to patterns that are a combination of several other patterns.     

Intergenic spacer (IGS) polymorphism: a new genetic marker for differentiation of Toxoplasma gondii strains and Neospora caninum

The region between the 28S and 18S rRNA genes, including the intergenic spacer (IGS) region and the 5S rRNA gene, from 32 strains of Toxoplasma gondii and the NC1 strain of Neospora caninum was amplified and used for DNA sequencing and/or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The 5S rDNA sequences from 20 strains of T. gondii were identical. The IGS region between the 5S and 18S rRNA genes (nontranscribed spacer 2 or NTS 2) showed 10 nucleotide variations. Six of the 10 variant positions correlated with the murine virulence of the strains. Intraspecific polymorphisms distinguished the virulent strains of zymodemes 5, 6, and 8 from other virulent strains (in zymodeme 1). RFLP methods (IGS-RFLP) were developed and used to characterize the virulent and avirulent patterns among 29 T. gondii strains. Sequence diversity of 19.8% was found between T. gondii and N. caninum when comparing a region of 919 bp at the 3' end of NTS 2. The sequence variation in ribosomal IGS could therefore be a useful marker for Toxoplasma strain identification and for distinguishing N. caninum from T. gondii.     

Sequence analysis of rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Porphyra haitanensis</Emphasis>

The intergenic spacer region (IGS) has been used for the first time to analyze the genetic variability of Porphyra haitanensis from different areas. In order to determine that whether the IGS sequences could be used for classification and identification in intraspecies of Porphyra, the partial IGS sequences of cultivated strains of P. haitanensis (isolated from Putian-Fujian Province, Shantou-Guangdong Province and Ningbo-Zhejiang Province), were amplified, sequenced and analyzed. The sequence analysis indicated that the partial IGS sequences from the three stains were the external transcribed spacers (ETS) of 3′ end of the IGS gene. In the three stains, the length of IGS sequences ranged from 1,085 to 1,100 bp and the G + C content varied from 50.88% to 51.27%. There were 55 variable sites which occupied approximately 5% of the ETS sequences. Similarity analysis and multisequencing alignment of sequences indicated that the partial IGS sequences of the three stains of P. haitanensis had notable variabilities. Therefore, the IGS sequence could be used as the critical genetic marker in intraspecies of P. haitanensis. Furthermore, IGS sequence analysis will be a powerful tool for genetic diversity and classification in intraspecies of other Porphyra species.     

Molecular characterization of DNA encoding 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer regions and 16S rRNA of pectolytic Erwinia species

Sequences of 16S rDNAs and the intergenic spacer (IGS) regions between the 16S and 23S rDNA of bacterial strains from genus Erwinia were determined. Comparison of 16S rDNA sequences from different species and subspecies clearly revealed intraspecies-subspecies homology and interspecies heterogeneity. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA sequence data revealed that Erwinia spp. formed a discrete monophyletic clade with moderate to high bootstrap values. PCR amplification of the 16S-23S rDNA regions using primers complementary to the 3' end of 16S and 5' end of 23S rRNA genes generated two DNA fragments. The small 16S-23S rDNA IGS regions of Erwinia spp. examined in this study varied considerably in size and nucleotide sequence. Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis of small IGS sequence data showed a consistent relationship among the test strains that was roughly in agreement with the 16S rDNA data that reflected the accepted species and subspecies structure of the taxon. Sequence data derived from the large IGS resolved the strains into coherent groups; however, the sequence information would not allow any phylogenetic conclusion, because it failed to reflect the accepted species structure of the test strains.     

紫芝基因组rDNA序列特征及ITS2二级结构比较

紫芝栽培品种‘紫芝S2’(武芝2号)的ITS序列与NCBI数据库中5个紫芝菌株/分离株相似度高达99.79%-100%,在系统进化树上相聚成一类。本研究预测‘紫芝S2’基因组与参考基因组中的rRNA基因簇,分析rDNA结构及各构件序列间的多态性。从高质量‘紫芝S2’基因组中挖掘得到完整rDNA,序列全长40.377 kb,由4组串联重复的(18S、5.8S、28S、5S) rRNA基因簇组成,并含有完整的基因内间隔区(ITS1、ITS2)和基因间间隔区(IGS1、IGS2)。在紫芝S2的rDNA中,高度保守的28S rRNA基因间出现3个SNP和2个插入(1 bp,10 bp)位点;虽然第4条ITS2中有1个SNP位点,但紫芝S2的4条ITS2在二级结构上的分子形态高度一致,与ITS2数据库中其他紫芝菌株仅存在螺旋区间夹角的微小差异。由‘紫芝S2’基因组rDNA的ITS2生成的DNA条形码与二维码,可以作为该栽培品种鉴定与同源物种其他菌株鉴别的分子标记。     

IGS基因及RAPD标记分析在加特隐球酵母基因分类中的应用

根据ITS1-5.8S-ITS2区域的特异核酸序列变化,加特隐球酵母Cryptococcus gattii(≡新型隐球酵母加特变种Cryptococcu neoformans var.gattii)可分为6种基因型。本研究通过检测加特隐球酵母的IGS基因,发现其IGS序列有着更丰富的变异和信息位点。通过结合加特隐球酵母RAPD(随机扩增的多态性DNA)图谱比较研究,与IGS和ITS的序列分析结果大体一致,说明新近发现的加特隐球酵母ITS8型确实有别于以前报道过的其他加特隐球酵母ITS基因型。研究证明IGS1及IGS2基因片段分析可以作为加特隐球酵母基因分类鉴定中有效的辅助鉴别的分子生物学方法,联合多种基因分类鉴定的方法可以更有效地揭示新型隐球酵母加特变种种内不同基因亚型间的遗传进化关系。     

Genetic diversity of bradyrhizobial populations from diverse geographic origins that nodulate Lupinus spp. and Ornithopus spp

The genetic diversity of 45 bradyrhizobial isolates that nodulate several Lupinus and Ornithopus species in different geographic locations was investigated by 16S rDNA PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis, 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) PCR-RFLP analysis, and ERIC-PCR genomic fingerprinting. Reference strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, B. liaoningense and B. elkanii and some Canarian isolates from endemic woody legumes in the tribe Genisteae were also included. The 16S rDNA-RFLP analysis resolved 9 genotypes of lupin isolates, a group of fourteen isolates presented restriction-genotypes identical or very similar to B. japonicum, while another two main groups of isolates (69%) presented genotypes that clearly separated them from the reference species of soybean. 16S rDNA sequencing of representative strains largely agreed with restriction analysis, except for a group of six isolates, and showed that all the lupin isolates are relatives of B. japonicum, but different lineages were observed. The 16S-23S IGS-RFLP analysis showed a high resolution level, resolving 19 distinct genotypes among 30 strains analysed, and so demonstrating the heterogeneity of the 16S-RFLP groups. ERIC-PCR fingerprint analysis showed an enormous genetic diversity producing a different pattern for each but two of the isolates. Phylogeny of nodC gene was independent from the 16S rRNA phylogeny, and showed a tight relationship in the symbiotic region of the lupin isolates with isolates from Canarian genistoid woody legumes, and in concordance, cross-nodulation was found. We conclude that Lupinus is a promiscuous host legume that is nodulated by rhizobia with very different chromosomal genotypes, which could even belong to several species of Bradyrhizobium. No correlation among genomic background, original host plant and geographic location was found, so, different chromosomal genotypes could be detected at a single site and in a same plant species, on the contrary, an identical genotype was detected in very different geographical locations and plants.
