Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For 16 S rRNA sequencing analysis, genomic DNA was extracted from the isolated strain with the mini BEST Bacterial Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (TAKARA BIOTECHNOLOGY, LTD.) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The 16 S rRNA gene sequence was amplified using the universal bacterial primers 27 F (5′-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3′) and 1492 R (5′-GGTTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3′) and cloned in the pMD18-T vector (TAKARA BIOTECHNOLOGY, LTD.) for sequencing. The obtained sequence was analysed against the NCBI and EzTaxon databases to identify the most closely related species. Then, a phylogenetic tree was constructed with MEGA (version 4.0)28 (link).

Two DNA extraction methods, NaOH-based and Kit-based, were employed to extract bacterial genomic DNA. The NaOH-based method was used to crudely extract the genomic DNA of V. vulnificus. Briefly, 50 μL of V. vulnificus suspension was added to 200 μL of 0.5 M NaOH solution and incubated at room temperature for 3 min. After being diluted 20-fold with nuclease-free water (Qiagen, Germany), 2 μL of cell lysate was used as template for the RAA assay. A MiniBEST Bacterial Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (TaKaRa, China) was also used to extract bacterial genomic DNA according to the user manual.

Bacterial 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolated strains were grown in 10 mL Luria-Bertani liquid medium with 180 rpm agitation at 30 °C, for 24 h. The bacterial DNA was extracted using the MiniBEST Bacterial Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (TaKaRa, Japan). We used the universal primers of the 16S rRNA gene to amplify the 16S rRNA gene fragments. The resulting fragments were sequenced by Shanghai Majorbio Bio-pharm Technology Co. Ltd (China), and compared in the NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) and EzTaxon (http://www.ezbiocloud.net/) databases.

Bacterial DNA Isolation from Dental Unit Water

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 250 mL water samples from air/water syringes of 60 DCUs before daily dental practice were filtered through a 0.2-μm pore polycarbonate filter (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), which was then stored in phosphate-buffered saline at 4 °C. Microorganism precipitates were obtained by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 10 min; the filter membrane was discarded. Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted using a Takara MiniBEST Bacterial Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (Takara, Dalian, China), following the manufacturer’s protocol. High-quality DNA with OD260/280 = 1.8–2.0, concentration >5 ng/μL, and no degradation with agarose gel electrophoresis (from 17 air/water syringe water samples) was stored at −80 °C until being used for molecular applications.

Periodontal examination was performed carefully. The number of teeth was recorded. Subgingival plaque samples were then processed from the deepest periodontal sites with periodontal depth ≥5 mm with sterile Gracycurettes. Bacterial genomic DNA was isolated from these samples with MiniBEST Bacterial Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (Takara). The isolated DNA was stored at −20°C. P.gingivalis fimA genotype was determined by PCR method. To analyze fimA gene, the specific primers for each subtype described by Hayashi et al [24] (link) were used. All PCR products were viewed by electrophoresis. In each sample processing, we set controls to avoid false positives and negatives.

As with the method for measuring the zeta potential, the same number of cell pellets were exposed to different concentrations of aqueous ozone. The samples were then centrifuged and their genomic DNA was extracted using a MiniBEST Bacterial Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (TaKaRa, China), and the total RNA was extracted by TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, USA). The nucleotide concentrations were quantified using a NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The integrity of the nuclei acid was verified using 1% (w/v) agarose gel electrophoresis by loading the same volume of gDNA or total RNA.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
