基于脂肪酸生物标记与16S rRNA的芽胞杆菌系统发育分析比较

旨在探究脂肪酸作为一种有效的芽胞杆菌分类标记,以25种芽胞杆菌模式菌株为研究对象,对芽胞杆菌进行脂肪酸组分和16S rRNA基因系统进化分析比较。结果表明,脂肪酸系统发育分析能充分体现芽胞杆菌种类间的亲缘关系,并且按生物学特性进行聚类分群,而16S rRNA系统发育仅完美体现出种间的亲缘关系。利用脂肪酸分析可将25种芽胞杆菌完全准确分开,且将生物学特性相同的芽胞杆菌种类聚为一类,如碱性条件下生长良好的4种芽胞杆菌(B.agaradhaerens、B.alacalphilus、B.alkalitelluris和B.fastidiosus)聚为一类,芽胞杆菌为圆形的芽胞杆菌(B.fusiformis、B.odysseyi和B.sphaericus)聚为一类。结果表明,脂肪酸分析不仅根据亲缘关系进行聚类,还可以根据生物学特性对芽胞杆菌进行分类。

对20余种细菌16SrDNAs进行多序列比对与进化树分析,设计铜绿假单胞菌(Pseudomonasaeruginosa,PA)荧光定量PCR(fluorescencequantitativePCR,FQ-PCR)特异性引物。提取PA基因组DNA,以特异性引物扩增16SrDNA靶片段,并构建重组质粒pMDT-Pfr。将梯度稀释的pMDT-Pfr质粒作为模板,用于建立定量标准曲线。以SYBRGreenI荧光染料建立20μL反应体系,对不同浓度的PADNA样品进行FQ-PCR检测。同时,以金黄色葡萄球菌、伤寒杆菌、福氏志贺菌、变形杆菌、表皮葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌和结核杆菌的基因组DNA作阴性对照,验证FQ-PCR方法检测PA的特异性。结果显示,设计的FQ-PCR引物的靶向序列,仅对PA16SrDNA有高度同源性;FQ-PCR方法检测PA,其灵敏度达3.6pg/μL的基因组DNA或(2.1×103±3.1×102)拷贝/μL的16SrDNA基因,并且具有很强的特异性;从细菌DNA提取到FQ-PCR检测,可在2h左右完成PA鉴定。较传统的培养鉴定法而言,以16SrDNA作为FQ-PCR靶基因快速检测PA,具有很好的研究价值与应用前景。     

培养基灭菌方式对细菌分离效率的影响

自然界蕴含大量未/难培养微生物,分离这些微生物对理论研究和资源开发具有重要意义。本研究使用高压灭菌和过滤除菌方式制备培养基,采用稀释涂布方法,从红树林灰泥样品中分离获得123株细菌,通过16S rRNA基因序列分析对其进行鉴定,进而探究培养基灭菌方式对细菌分离效果的影响。结果表明：过滤除菌培养基生长的单菌落数目（339±82）个显著多于高压灭菌培养基生长的单菌落数目（179±65）个;两种培养基分离细菌的群落结构在门、科和属分类水平上总体相似,但优势类群的数目和少数类群存在差异;过滤除菌培养基分离细菌的Shannon Wiener’s指数、均匀度、新种率、基因多样性均高于高压灭菌培养基,而其与近缘模式菌株相似度的平均值和中位数则低于高压灭菌培养基。因此,过滤除菌培养基分离获得细菌的多样性、均匀性和新颖性均高于高压灭菌培养基。本研究首次探究培养基灭菌方式对细菌分离效果的影响,具有更高分离效率的过滤除菌培养基为未/难培养微生物菌株资源获取提供了借鉴。

Endophytic bacterial flora in root and stem tissues of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) genotype: isolation, identification and evaluation against Phytophthora capsici

Aim:  To isolate and identify black pepper ( Piper nigrum L) associated endophytic bacteria antagonistic to Phytophthora capsici causing foot rot disease.
Methods and Results:  Endophytic bacteria (74) were isolated, characterized and evaluated against P. capsici . Six genera belong to Pseudomonas spp (20 strains), Serratia (1 strain), Bacillus spp. (22 strains), Arthrobacter spp. (15 strains), Micrococcus spp. (7 strains), Curtobacterium sp. (1 strain) and eight unidentified strains were isolated from internal tissues of root and stem.

Application of sucrose-gradient centrifugation for selective isolation of Nocardia spp. from soil

AIMS: To devise and evaluate a method for selective isolation of the less abundant actinomycetes, Nocardia spp. in soil. METHODS AND RESULTS: This newly developed method is based on differentiating Nocardia from other actinomycete taxa by centrifugation. A water suspension of air-dried soil is centrifuged through a gradient consisting of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% sucrose at 240 x g for 30 min. The 20% sucrose layer, which is enriched with Nocardia spp., is then diluted and plated on humic acid-vitamin agar supplemented with antibacterial agents. The proposed method consistently achieved selective isolation of Nocardia spp. in all 14 soil samples tested, which accounted for 5-89% of the total microbial population recovered. Tentative taxonomic characterization based on a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the 16S ribosomal DNA suggested that many of the soil isolates could belong to N. asteroides, N. salmonicida or N. uniformis. CONCLUSIONS: Differential centrifugation can successfully and efficiently isolate soil Nocardia populations that are suppressed by conventional dilution plating approaches. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The development and application of new methodologies with which to isolate less-explored actinomycete taxa is important for improving our knowledge about their taxonomy, ecology and industrial applications.

DNA isolation protocols affect the detection limit of PCR approaches of bacteria in samples from the human gastrointestinal tract

A major concern in molecular ecological studies is the lysis efficiency of different bacteria in a complex ecosystem. We used a PCR-based 16S rDNA approach to determine the effect of two DNA isolation protocols (i.e. the bead beating and Triton-X100 method) on the detection limit of seven feces-associated bacterial species of different genera. Glycogen was used in these protocols to improve the precipitation of small concentrations of DNA in ethanol without affecting the sequential procedures. The PCR detection limit of 16S rDNA amplicons on agarose gel from the seven strains tested varied between 8.0 (+/- 1.3) x 10(4) and 4.3 (+/- 1.6) x 10(6) cells for the bead beating method, and between 8.0 (+/- 1.3) x 10(4) and 5.4 (+/- 0.7) x 10(8) cells for the Triton X-100 method. These large differences are most like due to the difference in cell lysis efficiency, since a competitive PCR experiment did not indicate any preference for gram negative, low G+C gram positive or high G+C gram positive bacteria. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis was performed to investigate the effect of both DNA isolation protocols on the lysis efficiency of bacteria in fecal samples. A higher diversity in fecal samples was observed with the bead beating method than with the Triton-X100 method. Bands in the bead beating method-derived DGGE profiles corresponding to bands of cloned sequences of the Clostridium coccoides-Eubacterium rectale group and uncultured Fusobacterium prausnitzii were absent or had low intensity in the Triton X-100 method-derived profiles. The applicability of the bead beating method was further investigated by analyzing biopsy samples from the human colon which contain approximately 10(6) cells.     

DGGE and 16S rDNA analysis reveals a highly diverse and rapidly colonising bacterial community on different substrates in the rumen of goats

In the rumen, plant particles are colonised and degraded by the rumen micro-organisms. Although numerous important findings about fibre-associated bacterial community were obtained using traditional or molecular techniques, little information is available on the dynamics of bacteria associated with feed particles during incubation in the rumen. In the present study, ryegrass leaf, ryegrass stem and rice straw, representing different carbohydrate compositions, were used as substrates and placed in the rumen of goats by using nylon bags, and PCR/DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) with subsequent sequence analysis were used to monitor the dynamics of and identify bacteria associated with the substrates during 24 h of incubation. DGGE results showed that substrate samples collected from 10 min to 6 h had similar DGGE patterns, with up to 24 predominant bands to each sample, including 14 common bands to all samples, suggesting a rapid and stable colonisation by a highly diverse bacterial community. Substrate samples collected at 12 and 24 h showed similar DGGE patterns but had great difference in DGGE patterns from those collected at 10 min to 6 h, suggesting an apparent shift in bacterial community. Sequence analysis indicated that most substrate-associated bacteria were closely related to fibrolytic bacteria. In conclusion, a highly diverse and similar rumen bacterial community could immediately colonise to different substrates and remained stable during the initial 6 h of incubation, but experienced a marked change after 12 h of incubation. Italian ryegrass leaf, Italian ryegrass stem and rice straw were colonised with a similar bacterial community.     

Comparison of the diversity of the bacterial communities in the intestinal tract of adult Bactrocera dorsalis from three different populations

Aims: To (i) identify the bacterial communities in the gut of oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) adult and (ii) determine whether the different surroundings and diets influence the bacteria composition. Methods and Results: Polymerase chain reaction‐denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) fingerprinting was used to investigate bacterial diversity in the oriental fruit fly adult gut. The 16S rDNA cloned libraries from the intestinal tract of laboratory‐reared (LR), laboratory sterile sugar‐reared (LSSR) and field‐collected (FC) populations of oriental fruit fly were compared. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA revealed that Gammaproteobacteria were dominant in the all samples (73·0–98·3%). Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were judged to be major components of a given library as they constituted 10% or more of the total clones of such library. The Flavobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Alphaproteobacteria were observed in small proportions in various libraries. Further phylogenetic analyses indicated common bacterial phylotypes for all three libraries, e.g. those related to Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Pectobacterium and Serratia. libshuff analysis showed that the bacterial communities of B. dorsalis from the three populations were significantly different from each other (P < 0·0085). Conclusions: (i) The intestinal tract of B. dorsalis adult contains a diverse bacterial community, some of which are stable. (ii) Different environmental conditions and food supply could influence the diversity of the harboured bacterial communities and increase community variations. Significance and Impact of the Study: Comparison of the microbial compositions and common bacterial species found in this paper may be very important for the biocontrol of B. dorsalis.     

Bt杀虫蛋白处理后二化螟幼虫中肠细菌群落的变化

【目的】为探讨经Bt杀虫蛋白处理后二化螟Chilo suppressalis(Walker)幼虫中肠细菌群落的差异。【方法】本研究对采自北京(BJ)和福州(FZ)2个地区在室内分别经过未用Bt杀虫蛋白和使用Bt杀虫蛋白(Cry1Ab,Cry1Ac和Cry1Ca)多代汰选条件下的二化螟幼虫中肠进行解剖,采用变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)和Illumina Mi Seq技术测序平台对3个处理组(BJCry1Ab,BJCry1Ac和FZ1Ca)和2个对照组(BJCK和FZCK)中肠细菌的16S r DNA V3可变区进行电泳检测和高通量测序。【结果】DGGE图谱显示,5个不同处理组的细菌不仅丰富度存在差异,同时同种细菌在不同处理组中的比例也存在差异。高通量测序结果表明,优势菌为厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)的肠球菌属Enterococcus,其次为乳杆菌属Lactobacillus和芽孢杆菌属Bacillus,以及变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、绿弯菌门(Chloroflexi)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)。同一地区的二化螟种群,Bt杀虫蛋白处理组(BJCry1Ab,BJCry1Ac和FZ1Ca)的二化螟幼虫与对照组(BJCK和FZCK)相比,优势菌肠球菌属Enterococcus比重均有所增加,而乳杆菌属Lactobacilluss所占比重均有所降低。北京和福州这2个地区未用Bt杀虫蛋白处理的对照组之间肠道菌落的结构也存在一定差异。【结论】经Bt杀虫蛋白处理后二化螟幼虫中肠细菌群落的丰富度出现变化,推测可能与二化螟取食不同Bt杀虫蛋白、地理位置差异以及饲养代数不同有关。
