To assess intracellular nuclease activity, crude enzyme extracts of WP3NR strains were incubated together with DNA substrate. In particular, the WP3NR strains from cultures at the mid-logarithmic phase (OD600 = 1.0) were pelleted by centrifugation. The harvested cell pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer [500 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol (w/v), 20 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0)] and sonicated on ice. The cell lysates were subsequently centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 20 min at 4 °C, after which the supernatants were obtained. Nine microliters of the crude enzyme extracts were incubated together with approximately 100 ng of purified DNA (PCR-amplified 16 S rRNA gene and genomic DNA of S. piezotolerans WP3) in reaction buffer (Takara, Dalian, China). The reaction mixtures were incubated at 20 °C for 1 h and then separated on a 1% agarose gel.

Total DNA was extracted from the silica gel-dried leaves using a modified 2X CTAB procedure (Doyle and Doyle, 1987) . The 14 SSR markers (Table 2) used in the present study were selected based on their ability to amplify DNA in this species, and the reproducibility of their products. DNA amplifications were performed in 20-mL reaction volumes containing 1X reaction buffer (TaKaRa), 10-15 ng genomic DNA, 250 mM each dNTP, 20 mM each primer, and 1 U Taq DNA polymerase (Takara).

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.
