Cyanophage Genomic DNA Extraction

Twelve cyanophages were isolated (Waterbury and Valois, 1993 (link); Sullivan et al., 2003 (link); Sullivan et al., 2008 (link)), then concentrated and purified for genomic DNA extraction either by CsCl purification (details in Lindell et al., 2004 (link)) or using a Lambda Wizard DNA kit (Promega Corp., Madison, WI) directly on phage lysates. This kit precipitates phage particles using a polyethylene glycol solution, followed by DNA extraction using a diatomaceous earth-based resin (Promega Corp., Madison, WI). Total DNA yields were consistently higher using the Wizard DNA kit than using CsCl-purified particles (1–2 µg from 250 ml of lysate versus nanograms from 2 l of lysate). Although host DNA contamination was significant (ranged 11.4–77.5% of total reads) in the Wizard DNA kit preps due to the less rigorous purification, host reads could be filtered out during phage genome assembly. These methods are described in detail elsewhere (Henn et al., 2010 (link)).

Quantitative Analysis of Fermented Grains

Different methods were selected for pretreatment according to the status of the samples. For the solid fermented grains, 10 g samples were mixed with 10 mL of ultrapure water and were homogenized in an ultrasonic shaker for 15 min. Then, the samples were centrifuged at 8000 r/min for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected for the detection of EC and its precursors. As for the aqueous samples, they were filtrated and used for the following analysis.
To detect the concentration of urea, 0.4 mL of the sample, 0.6 mL of 9-Hydroxyxanthene and 0.1 mL of 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid were mixed well and reacted for 30 min in a centrifuge tube. Then, the reaction mixture was filtered through a 0.22 μm organic membrane and detected using HPLC-FID (Thermo, Shanghai, China) with a C18 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm). The sample was detected at an excitation wavelength of 213 nm and an emission wavelength of 308 nm, and the mobile phase was prepared according to the previous method [21 (link)]. To detect the concentration of cyanide, high-resolution gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS, Thermo, Shanghai, China) was applied with a wax column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm), and the headspace injection method was used according to the national standard (GB 5009.36-2016). To detect the concentration of EC, a 2 mL sample was loaded into a solid-phase extraction column (alkaline diatomaceous earth) for 10 min, and then eluted using 15 mL of dichloromethane. The eluent was collected in a clean tube and dried using a rotary evaporator at room temperature. The solid residue was dissolved in 1 mL of methanol for analysis via ISQ GC-MS (Thermo, Shanghai, China) with a wax column (60 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm) [22 (link)].
