Conventional identification of mycobacteria is based on the analysis of their phenotypic and biochemical characteristics after
culture; thus this method is time-consuming, laborious, and is not always conclusive. Developing a fast and accurate method
for rapid identification of Mycobacterium species is in urgent need for early diagnosis of mycobacteriosis and effective patient management. In this study, an efficient
and affordable novel multiplex probe array which allows simultaneous identification of 15 medically important mycobacterial
species was developed. A pair of genus-specific primers and a set of genus- and species-specific probes were designed according
to the conserved and polymorphic regions of the 16S rRNA gene, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence, and 23S rRNA gene
of mycobacteria. This probe array was applied for the identification of 78 clinical mycobacterial isolates recovered from
Henan, China. The results showed that the specificity and sensitivity of the probe array were 100% for both genus-specific
probe and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex-specific probe. Among 52 isolates of nontuberculous mycobacteria, 43 isolates (82.7%) can be rapidly identified to
the species level. Genetic variability of 16S-23S rRNA gene ITS region in M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. chelonae, M. abscessus and M. fortuitum were analyzed. With the accumulation of the sequences of ITS identified and further optimization of probes, the multiplex
probe array has the potential to be developed into a practical tool for rapid and accurate identification of mycobacterial
species in clinical laboratory. 相似文献

This study isolated nine strains of aerobic phenol-degrading granules. These isolates (I1–I9) were characterized using 16S
rRNA gene sequencing, with γ-Proteobacteria as the dominant strains in the aerobic granules. While most strains demonstrated either high phenol-degrading capabilities
or auto-aggregation capabilities, three isolates, I2, I6, and I8 showed both features. These findings contradict the previous
view that auto-aggregation and phenol degradation are mutually exclusive in aerobic granules. Strains I2 and I8 independently
formed single-culture aerobic granules except for I3. Anti-microbial activity test results indicated that strains I2 and I8
inhibited growth of strain I3. However, co-culturing I3 with I2 or I8 helped to form granules. 相似文献

Nucleopolyhedroviruses ( Baculoviridae ) are virulent insect pathogens that generally show a high degree of host specificity and have recognized potential as biological insecticides. Whenever viruses are applied for pest control, a proportion of the infected insects will also be parasitized by hymenopteran or dipteran parasitoids and interspecific competition for host resources will occur; the severity of such competition is likely to be modulated to a large degree by the virulence of each type of parasite. We examined the impact of parasitism by the solitary egg-larval endoparasitoid Chelonus insularis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on the speed of kill of nucleopolyhedrovirus-infected Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae and the pattern of host growth and virus production in infected and/or parasitized hosts. We also examined the effect of parasitism on the virulence, infectivity and genetic composition of serially passaged virus. Both parasitism and viral infection resulted in a marked reduction in host growth. When third instar larvae were dually parasitized and virus-infected, the growth rate was even more severely affected compared to parasitized larvae. There was a significant increase in virus production in larvae infected at later instars. Interspecific competition resulted in a substantial decrease in pathogen production in parasitized larvae infected at the fourth instar, but not in parasitized larvae infected at earlier instars. The serial passage experiment resulted in the appearance of four distinct genetic isolates of the virus detected by restriction endonuclease analysis. Of the three isolates that appeared in nonparasitized larvae, two showed increased virulence, expressed by mean time to death, and for one of these the infectivity, expressed as LC 50 , was reduced. One isolate that appeared in parasitized larvae (isolate D) had increased virulence and infectivity. Southern blot analysis indicated that virus isolate D was most likely generated by point mutation of a restriction site or by alterations such as duplications, deletions or by recombination of two or more genotypic variants present in the wild-type nucleopolyhedrovirus isolate. Our study provides clear evidence of interspecific competition within the host, since, depending on the timing of inoculation, adverse effects were observed upon both the parasitoid and the virus. 相似文献

Characterization of cry1, cry2, and cry9 genes in Bacillus thuringiensis isolates from China 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Bacillus thuringiensis isolates from different ecological regions and sources of China were analyzed to study the distribution and diversity of cry genes and to detect the presence of novel cry genes. Strains containing cry1-type genes were the most abundant and represent 237 of the 310 B. thuringiensis isolates (76.5%). About 70 and 15.5% of the isolates contained a cry2 gene or cry9 gene, respectively, while 10.0% of the strains did not contain a cry1, cry2, or cry9 gene. Among the cry1 containing isolates, cry1A (67.7%), cry1I (60.6%), cry1C (43.9%), and cry1D (39.4%) genes were the most abundant. Forty-three different cry1 gene profiles were detected in this collection. Several cry1 genes were associated at a high frequency, such as the cry1C-cry1D and cry1A-cry1I gene combination. The cry1A and cry2 amplicons were digested with selected restriction enzymes to examine sequence diversity. Based on this RFLP analysis, one novel cry1A-type gene was observed. 相似文献

Pathogenic and genetic variability among seven populations of Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae from individual tobacco fields (Yunnan, Shandong, Henan, Heilongjiang, Shanxi, Fujian and Sichuan provinces) were investigated using pathogenicity and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses; 63 strains were isolated from different fields of seven tobacco growing regions, using tobacco cv. Hongda as a baiting host. Pathogenic variability was evaluated in greenhouse studies using five tobacco cultivars that have different levels of resistance to tobacco black shank; 75 and 73% of the strains were pathogenic on M3 and M4, 29 and 33% on M1 and M2, and 94% were pathogenic on M5, respectively. Disease severity incited by different strains varied significantly on individual tobacco cultivars. The percentage of strains pathogenic on different cultivars varied among locations. Genotypic variation among 63 strains was evaluated by RAPD analysis. Ten primers detected 89 polymorphic bands. Cluster and principal coordinates analysed cluster groups. the minor group contained 26 strains, and major group contained 37 strains. Estimates of genetic diversity based on RAPD analysis ranged from 0.24 to 0.34 within populations to 0.36 among all strains from all populations. Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae populations were genotypically and phenotypically variable, but no distinct genotypic differences were identified among populations from the seven locations. 相似文献

Screening of <Emphasis Type="Italic">cry2</Emphasis> genes in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus thuringiensis</Emphasis> isolates from Argentina 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for identification of cry2 genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was established. Strains from different sources of Argentina were analyzed to study the distribution of cry2 genes. The results showed that cry2Aa/cry2Ab profile was the most abundant irrespective of source and represented 56 of 59 Bt isolates (94.9%). Three different cry2 profiles were found in this collection, one of which was novel. 相似文献

Populations of Trypanosoma cruzi can be clustered in two main phylogenetic lineages, T. cruzi I and T. cruzi II and a third group denominated Zymodeme III (ZIII) has been described. Using 23 isolates representing the two major T. cruzi groups and the Zymodeme III, the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the calmodulin gene was analyzed. Several mutations located on a 330 bp segment of this 3'UTR were observed, among which three important insertion/deletion events, namely (1) a dinucleotide AG present only in ZIII isolates; (2) a 13 bases purine block missing only in ZIII; and (3) a five base GT block in T. cruzi II. Minimum free energy dot plots show that T. cruzi I and T. cruzi ZIII exhibit similar patterns of optimal and sub-optimal folding of this segment. These mutations in 3'UTR of calmodulin raise the possibility that T. cruzi I and ZIII group are sharing common functional routes. 相似文献
