DNA extraction techniques for endospore-forming bacteria in soil are often labour-intensive and unreliable. Our objective in this work was to investigate whether good quality DNA could be obtained from spores germinated in soil. To this end, endospores from Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium and B. thuringiensis were inoculated into soil microcosms and germination was induced by addition of LB medium supplemented with l-alanine, glucose, fructose and KCl. Heat resistance count was reduced to 80% for B. subtilis and more than 90% for B. thuringiensis and B. megaterium after a few minutes. Isolation of DNA from soil with a procedure which did not work on spores was shown to be as efficient for in situ-germinated spores as for inoculated vegetative cells. Furthermore, we developed a simple procedure that allowed us to use the recovered DNA in PCR amplifications. The present methodology is simple and efficient; it avoids the use of special equipment and harsh spore rupturing methods and can be carried out with multiple samples. 相似文献

Although there are numerous bacteria of the genus Bacillus of great importance for biological control, little is known about their ecology in the soil. We wanted to test illegitimate recombination as a tagging system that would allow us to study selected or genetically engineered Bacillus soil isolates. Strains carrying the plasmid integrated into the chromosome were obtained by growing at a non-permissive temperature after transformation with a plasmid carrying a thermo-sensitive replication origin with selection for erythromycin. A laboratory strain, a commercial strain (Kodiak), and four other soil isolates were generated through this procedure and analysed. In all of these strains the integrated plasmid was maintained in multicopy. The erythromycin resistance gene (ermB) placed on the plasmid was used as a target for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The tagged strains could be then detected when inoculated into microcosms prepared with non-sterile soil. 相似文献

The stability of integration and amplification of an integrational plasmid in Bacillus subtilis was analyzed. A cat-containing plasmid was constructed that could be integrated into the amy locus to facilitate measurement of excision events. Pulse-field gel electrophoresis was used to measure the copy number in
strains that were resistant to different levels of chloramphenicol. The stability of the amplified unit in strains containing
from 2 to 18 tandem copies of the amplicon in the presence and absence of chloramphenicol and through different generation
times was then determined. Our results demonstrate that, for any given strain, the copy number of the amplicon remains stable.
Furthermore, this stability is maintained when a clone containing an amplicon of defined size is cultured through as many
as 100 generations in the absence of selective pressure.
