gvpA-C间隔区在微囊藻株系分型中的应用

从暴发水华的水体分离微囊藻(Microcystis)株,并依据gvpA-C间隔区和16S rDNA序列对其分型和比较。在gvpA-C间隔区序列中,有的类型具有一段172—176 bp的额外序列。以不包括额外序列的0.27 kb序列相比较,不同类型之间差异碱基位点达50余个。在16S rDNA碱基变异集中的0.69 kb序列中,不同类型之间有差异的碱基位点共有8个。与16S rDNA序列相比,微囊藻gvpA-C间隔区序列具有高度变异性,并且其PCR扩增可一步完成,不受其他细菌污染,因而可用于微囊藻株系分型。由于横向转移,2种分型存在交叉关系。此外,原本含有或不含有额外序列的微囊藻gvpA-C间隔区序列在系统进化树中分别聚成一簇。

广东省水库3株水华微囊藻16s rRNA序列分析

微囊藻是有害淡水水华的主要藻种,但其形态分类困难,制约了相关研究的深入;16SrRNA序列分析广泛应用于微生物种类鉴定。测定广东3个水库的3株水华微囊藻16SrRNA基因部分序列,运用Mega3软件分析其遗传特征,结果表明,3株藻同源序列长度为1305bp,没有插入与缺失,序列中有3个变异位点,A T含量最大差异仅为0.2%,核苷酸相似性在99.85%以上,不能区分广东省水库同一藻种的不同藻株,表明水华微囊藻种内16SrRNA基因序列相当保守。要准确鉴定广东省水库微囊藻种类,丰富广东省水库微囊藻分子层面的分类资料,需要比较更多形态和地理来源的藻株,建立16SrRNA和其它基因序列核苷酸数据库,分析种间和种内差异,设计种专一性的分子探针。

通过混合培养和添加过滤液两种方式观察铜绿微囊藻和惠氏微囊藻的生长曲线,探讨两种微囊藻之间的化感作用。结果表明:在混合培养条件下,两者能够形成相互抑制作用;当两者起始藻密度高于0.5×106cells.mL-1、混合比为1:1时,惠氏微囊藻的生长因化感作用而受到显著抑制(P<0.05),同时惠氏微囊藻也会对铜绿微囊藻产生一定的胁迫作用;处于对数生长期的铜绿微囊藻过滤液能抑制惠氏微囊藻的生长,且惠氏微囊藻起始藻密度低于0.5×106cells.mL-1,连续滴加该过滤液后,其生长受到极显著抑制(P<0.01)。     

一株溶藻细菌NP23的初步分离鉴别及其溶藻作用研究

从水体中分离得到一株具有溶藻能力的细菌,命名为NP23。经形态特征、生理生化鉴定和16S rDNA序列分析表明,该菌株属于肠杆菌属(Enterobacter)。研究了该菌株对湖泊中优势藻的溶藻效果,初步探讨了其溶藻方式及溶藻物质。结果表明,该菌株对小球藻、惠氏微囊藻、栅藻和蛋白核小球藻具有一定的去除效果,叶绿素a的去除率分别为64.1%、53.1%、87.2%和84.4%,而且在10-108CFU/mL菌浓度范围内,藻的去除率与菌液的浓度成正相关;该菌株对小球藻、栅藻和蛋白核小球藻是间接溶藻,对惠氏微囊藻是直接溶藻;该菌株对栅藻的溶藻物质是蛋白类物质,对蛋白核小球藻的溶藻因子是菌体胞外分泌的具有热稳定性的非蛋白类物质。     

Phylogenetic relationships between toxic and non-toxic strains of the genus Microcystis based on 16S to 23S internal transcribed spacer sequence

16S to 23S ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer sequences of 47 strains of the genus Microcystis were determined. Derived maximum likelihood and DNA distance trees indicated that Microcystis can be divided into three clusters. The first cluster included toxic and non-toxic strains, the second only toxic ones, and the third only non-toxic ones. The tree topologies were not necessarily correlated with morphospecies distinction or phycobilin pigment composition, and one genotype may have more than one morphotype. Phylogenetic analysis based on intergenic spacer sequences was thought to be effective for understanding relationships among closely related species and strains.     

Discrimination of Rhizobium tropici and R. leguminosarum strains by PCR-specific amplification of 16S-23S rDNA spacer region fragments and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)

With the aim of detecting Rhizobium species directly in the environment, specific PCR primers for Rh. tropici and Rh. leguminosarum were designed on the basis of sequence analysis of 16S-23S rDNA spacer regions of several Rh. tropici, Rh. leguminosarum and Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains. Primer specificity was checked by comparison with available rDNA spacer sequences in databases, and by PCR using DNA from target and reference strains. Sequence polymorphisms of rDNA spacer fragments among strains of the same species were detected by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The specific PCR primers designed in this study could be applied to evaluate the diversity of Rh. tropici and Rh. leguminosarum by analysing the polymorphisms of 16S-23S spacer rDNA amplified from either whole-cell or soil-extracted DNA.     

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.     

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.     

七株微囊藻系统进化关系的RAPD-PCR分析

应用RAPD-PCR的方法,选用24个随机引物,分析来自不同地区的7株微囊藻的基因组多态性。结果显示,Microcystis.viridis及M.wesenbergii明显与M.aeruginosa区分开。M.aeruginosa分为两个可视为不同种的异源分类单位。作为对照的Anabaena sp.7120与其他微囊藻株表现出完全不同的基因型及更远的遗传距离。 此项研究表明,以基因型而不是表现型为基础,分析蓝藻种内及种间区别是可能的。因此,为解决蓝藻分类问题,特别是在种和属的水平上,提供了重要的线索。结合正在进行的用特异性及准确性强的引物区分微囊藻产毒及非产毒株的方法,RAPD-PCR可望将微囊藻产毒及非产毒株进化关系澄清。

GENETIC VARIABILITY OF BRAZILIAN STRAINS OF THE MICROCYSTIS AERUGINOSA COMPLEX (CYANOBACTERIA/CYANOPHYCEAE) USING THE PHYCOCYANIN INTERGENIC SPACER AND FLANKING REGIONS (cpcBA)

The genetic and morphological variability among 15 Brazilian strains of Microcystis aeruginosa (Kütz.) Kütz. collected from four locations was examined and compared with several reference strains of M. aeruginosa , M. viridis (A. Br.) Lemm. and M. wesenbergii (Kom.) Kom. in Kondr. Brazilian strains were classified by morphological features and by comparison of the nucleotide sequences of the cpc BA intergenic spacer and flanking regions. Our results indicate that Brazilian strains classified as M. aeruginosa are phylogenetically diverse compared with reference strains of M. aeruginosa and that the current taxonomy underestimates genetic diversity within M. aeruginosa. The data also demonstrate that morphological criteria alone are inadequate to characterize Microcystis species. Although colonial characters were shown to vary considerably in culture, some genetic lineages demonstrated consistent cellular diameter ranges, indicating that cell size has value as a taxonomic character. The detection of six M. aeruginosa genotypes in a single water body indicates that morphological approaches can also seriously underestimate the diversity of Microcystis bloom populations.     

16S to 23S rDNA spacer fragment length polymorphism of Aeromonas sp

We analyzed polymorphism of the PCR-amplified 16S-23S rDNA spacer of Aeromonas species. A total of 69 isolates representing 18 DNA hybridization groups were used in this study. The analysis of PCR products of 16S-23S rDNA spacers revealed patterns consisting of two to eight DNA fragments. The fragment sizes ranged from 730 to 1050 bp. DNA patterns revealed a considerable genetic diversity between species and within a species. When a procedure to eliminate heteroduplex formation was performed, the number of bands was reduced to 2-5. Nevertheless the homoduplex ISR (intergenic spacer region) patterns obtained were not useful for species distinguishing.     

16S～23S RDNA间区在链球菌和流感嗜血杆菌分类中的应用

利用16S~23S rDNA间区（intergenic spacer regions,ISR）在不同细菌中拷贝数、碱基排列、序列长度及所含tRNA基因种类和数目的差异,对15株链球菌和流感嗜血杆菌进行属、种、型和株系的分类鉴定。在16S rDNA的3′端和23S rDNA的5′端的保守区中合成引物,PCR扩增16S~23S rDNA ISR序列,对多态片段切胶纯化直接测序。在GenBank上查找对应细菌的ISR序列。用DNAMAN软件进行系统进化分析。链球菌属为单拷贝16S~23Sr RNA ISR、有一个tRNAAla基因编码区、分子大小在269~446bp之间,序列分成4个保守区和4个可变区,可变区碱基排列方式和数目的不同是种分类的依据。7株链球菌的同源率在78%~88%。同种异株的差异反映在碱基的插入和缺失上。流感嗜血杆菌各生物型均为2个拷贝的ISR,小片段为514~519bp,编码1个tRNAGlu基因,有3个狭窄可变区。大片段富含A T碱基,在I、II和IV型中分别是868、848和856bp,编码一个tRNAIle基因和一个tRNAAla基因。不同生物型小分子ISR与标准菌株比较,同源性在97.3%~99.6 %之间。 ISR作为细菌分类的目的基因具有属、种、型和株特异性与灵敏性。简单的基因分离分析技术为认识病原微生物提供了更多的机会。 Abstract:To facilitate species level identification of bacteria without the requirement of presumptive identification,the paper describes a rapid identification method of bacteria by amplification and direct sequencing 16S~23S rDNA intergenic spacer regions (ISR) of the pathogens which cause the upper respiratory tract infective disease by Streptococcus and Haemophilus.Three pairs of primer targeting conserved sequences flanking the 3′ end of 16S and the 5′end of 23S rRNA were used to amplify 16S~23S rRNA ISR of 7 streptococcus strains and 8 Haemophilus strains.The PCR products were separated by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and the polymorphisms fragments were purified with the Wizard PCR Min-Prep Kit (Promega) and Protocol-SK131(Sangon).The nucleotide sequences of ISR inserts were determined by using the XEQTM DTCS Kit——Terminator Cycle Sequencing and a CEQTM 2000XL DNA Analysis system (Backman Coulter) automatic DAN sequencer.Then those sequences were compared with known seqnences on the GenBank.The alignment of nucleotide sequence,evolutionary distances and phylogenetic tress were analyzed by software DANMAN version 4.0.The PCR products were showed polymorphism patterns with agarose gel.One band was contained in streptococcus genus.The significant variation was found among the spacer sequences of different species in Streptococcus with the lengths of the spacer varying from 269 to 446bp.All the ISR of the streptococcal species had a tRNA Ala gene in the spacer and the sequence identities varied from 78 to 88% within genera.It was found that some spacer sequence blocks were highly conserved between operons of a genome,whereas the presence of others was variable,three regions showed significant spatial variation.Most of the differences between the sequences came from several bases insertions/deletions and substitutions.There are two major bands in the Haemophilus biotypes(515 and 884bp),the small ISR amplicon contained one tDNA coding for tRNAGlu.In contrast to the large one contained two tRNA genes coding for tRANAla and tRNAIle.Two regions of repeating motifs with only A or T were present in higher copy numbers between tRANAla and tRNAIle.The phylogenetic trees varied from 97.5 to 98.8%.The PCR and direct sequencing of 16S~23S rRAN ISR were successful in the pathogen species identification.
