A total of 12 DNA samples (for all three locations) and four cDNA samples (for the S2 location only) were amplified in 50-μL reaction systems using the primer sets of barcoded Pro341F (5′-XXXXXXXXCCTACGGGNBGCASCAG-3′, XXXXXXXX denotes the barcode sequence) and Pro805R (5′-GACTACNVGGGTATCTAATCC-3′) (Bourtzis et al., 2014 (link)) under the aforementioned conditions. For each sample, three replicates of both 16S rDNA and 16S cDNA amplicons were pooled and purified using an AxyPrep DNA Gel Extraction Kit (Axygen, Tewksbury, MA, United States). The amplicon DNA concentrations were measured using a Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit with a Qubit 2.0 fluorometer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, United States). Based on the quantification results, the cleaned amplicons were mixed at equimolar ratios for library construction. Using a KAPA LTP Library Kit (KAPA Biosystems, Boston, MA, United States), end-repairing, amplicon A-tailing, and adaptor ligating were carried out according to standard protocols. After ligation of the sequencing adaptors, each composite library was cleaned again with an AxyPrep DNA Gel Extraction Kit (Axygen, Tewksbury, MA, United States). Next-generation sequencing was performed on an Illumina MiSeq platform using the 2 × 300 protocol.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate an AhHsp70p target luciferase reporter, we designed five deletion AhHsp70p specific primers (Table 1) using the CE V1.04 software. A KpnI restriction site sequence with approximately 15–25 bp homologous to the vector region was added to the 5ʹ end of the forward primer and an XhoI restriction site with approximately 15–25 bp homologous to the vector was added to the 5ʹ end of the reverse primer. The target fragment was obtained by PCR amplification using genomic DNA as a template. PCR amplification reactions were performed using a total reaction volume of 25 µL comprising 2.5 µL of 10× PCR buffer (10 µM), 0.5 µL of dNTPs (2.5 mM), 0.5 µL of Taq DNA polymerase (TransGen Biotech, China), 1 µL of each gene-specific primer pair, 0.5 µL of genomic DNA template, and 19 µL ddH2O. The PCR products were purified using an AxyPrepTM DNA Gel Extraction Kit (Axygen) and cloned into a pEASY-T3 vector (TransGen, Beijing, China). The veracity of the plasmids was confirmed using commercial sequencing (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China).
