DNA was extracted from bacteria and EVs in stools using a stool DNA extraction kit (Bioneer, Daejeon, Korea). Bacterial genomic DNA was amplified with 27F (5′-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3′) and 518R (5′-ATTACCGCGGCTGCTGG-3′) primers, which are specific for V1-V3 hypervariable regions of 16S rDNA gene. The libraries were prepared using PCR products according to the GS FLX titanium library prep guide and quantified using a Picogreen assay (Invitrogen, Waltham, USA). After PCR products extracted and quantified, equimolar ratios from each mixture were pooled and sequenced on a 454 Life Sciences Genome Sequencer FLX system (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

16S rRNA Gene Amplification from Fecal Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Frozen faecal samples were thawed, and bacterial genomic DNA was extracted from 200 mg of feces using QIAamp® DNA Stool Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions, with the additional glass-bead beating steps on a Precellys 24 homogenizer (Bertin Technologies, Montigny, France). The bacterial genomic DNA was amplified in 50-μl triplicates with the 27F (5′-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3′) and 533R (5′-TTACCGCGGCTGCTGGCAC-3′) primers specific for the V1-V3 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene according to our previous studies54 (link). Each forward primer incorporated FLX Titanium adapters and a sample barcode at the 5′ end of the reverse primer to allow all samples to be included in the single 454 FLX sequencing run. After PCR products extracted and quantified, equimolar concentrations were pooled and sequenced on a 454 Life Sciences Genome Sequencer FLX system (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Each forward primer incorporated FLX Titanium adapters and a sample barcode at the 5′ end of the reverse primer to allow all samples to be included in the single 454 FLX sequencing run. All PCR reactions were performed in 50-μl triplicates and combined after PCR. The products were extracted with the QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (QIAGEN) and quantified on NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer, QuantiFluor-ST Fluorometer (Promega, USA) and Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA). Equimolar concentrations of 83 samples were pooled and sequenced on a 454 Life Sciences Genome Sequencer FLX system (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The bacterial genomic DNA was utilized in 50-μl triplicate samples for the specific amplification of the V1-V3 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene using the 27F (5′-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3′) and 533R (5′-TTACCGCGGCTGCTGGCAC-3′) primers, as described in our previous reports35 (link)36 (link). Each forward primer incorporated FLX Titanium adapters and a sample barcode was incorporated at the 5′ end of the reverse primer to allow all of the samples to be included in the single 454 FLX sequencing run. After the PCR products were extracted and quantified, they were pooled in equimolar concentrations and were sequenced using a 454 Life Sciences Genome Sequencer FLX system (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The methods for sequence screening, diversity analysis and taxonomy-based analysis were performed as described in our previous reports35 (link)36 (link). The Mann–Whitney U test and a one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis, and all of these analyses were performed using SPSS for Windows software (version 16.0; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).

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.
