Frozen pellet obtained from 20 ml sample extract after stomaching were centrifuged and DNA extraction was performed on the pellet. Nucleospin® tissue kit (Macherey-Nagel) was used for the extraction according to manufacturer instructions. Concentration and quality of extracted DNA were checked using a BioSpec-nano spectrophotometer (Shimadzu). The bacterial V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was then amplified using the forward primer 5′-CTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTACGGRAGGCAGCAG-3′ and the reverse primer 5′-GGAGTTCAGACGTGTGCTCTTCCGATCTTACCAGGGTATCTAATCCT-3′23 (link). The preparation of amplicons was performed in a total volume of 50 µL containing 0.5 µl of TAQ Polymerase (5 U/µl) and 5 µl of adequate 10 X PCR buffer (MTP Taq DNA Polymerase, Sigma), 1 µl of 10 mM dNTP (Sigma), 1.25 µM of each primer (20 µM) and 10 ng of DNA template. PCR was performed using a LightCycler 480 thermocycler as follows: 94 °C for 60 s for initial melting; 30 cycles at 94°c for 60 s, 65 °C for 60 s, 72 °C for 60 s; and 72 °C for 10 min following by incubation at 4 °C. Products were then verified on a 1.5% agarose gel before being sent to GeT-PLaGe Genotoul plateform (Castanet-Tolosan, France) for paired-end sequencing on Illumina MiSeq platform (Illumina, USA) at a read length of 2 × 250 pb.

16S rRNA Amplification and Sequencing

16S rDNA was amplified with primers for the V3 and V4 hypervariable regions (PCR1F_460: 5′-CTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTACGGRAGGCAGCAG-3′, PCR1R_460:5′-GGAGTTCAGACGTGTGCTCTTCCGATCTTACCAGGGTATCTAATCCT-3′). The reaction mixture contained 10 ng of genomic DNA, 5 U/μl MTP Taq DNA polymerase (Sigma, France), 0.2 mM dNTP, and 0.5 µM (final concentration) of each primer. Reactions were performed using an annealing temperature of 65°C for 30 cycles in a T100 thermocycler (Biorad, France). Sequencing was performed using 460-bp paired-end reads and an Illumina Miseq protocol on the GeT-PLaGe platform (Toulouse, France). Illumina reads were joined using the fastq-join method. The sequences were demultiplexed and quality filtered using the QIIME (version 1.8.0) software package. The sequences were assigned to OTUs using UCLUST algorithm 41 with a 97% threshold of pairwise identity and classified taxonomically using the Greengenes reference database.

(5'-GCATCGATGAAGAACGCAGC-3') and ITS4
(5'-TCCTCCGCTTWTGWTWTGC-3') primers. The PCR was performed with MTP Taq DNA Polymerase (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), and the cycling conditions were: 94°C for 1 min, followed by 30 cycles of amplification at 94°C for 1 min, 65°C for 1 min, and 72°C for 1 min, with a final extension step of 10 min at 72°C. The sequencing was performed with a V3
Illumina MiSeq kit, as described in Poirier et al. (2018) (link) (Poirier et al., 2018) (link).
The quality of the raw data was evaluated with FastQC (Wingett & Andrews, 2018) (link) and the sequences were imported into the FROGS pipeline (Escudié et al., 2018) (link) to obtain the Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). The sequences were filtered by length (150-500 bp)
and then pooled into OTUs with SWARM (Mahe, Rognes, Quince, de Vargas, & Dunthorn, 2014) (link) with the distance parameter of 3. Chimeras were removed with VSEARCH (Rognes, Flouri, Nichols, Quince, & Mahe, 2016) (link) and OTUs with at least 0.01% in the whole dataset were retained. The OTUs were affiliated with SILVA 132 SSU databases (Quast et al., 2013) (link) for bacteria and UNITE 8.2 for fungi (https://unite.ut.ee/). Alpha-diversity and beta-diversity analyses were performed in R Studio v.3.6.1 using the phyloseq and ggplot2 packages (v1.30.0) (McMurdie & Holmes, 2013; (link)Poirier et al., 2018) (link).

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.
