Feces were collected on the first day of the first and on the last day of the third DSS cycle. Samples were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −20 °C. DNA was isolated using the QIAamp Fast DNA stool Mini kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with bead beating using Lysing Matrix E tubes (MP Biomedicals) before extraction. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and library preparation was performed using a standard Illumina protocol [36 ]. Reads were processed using the software packages DADA2 [37 (link)] and SINA [38 (link)]. For the analysis of sample similarity modified Rhea scripts were used [39 (link)]. Generalized UniFrac distances were visualized using multi-dimensional scaling [40 (link)]. We assessed cluster significance using permutational multivariate analysis of variance. Testing for significant differences in diversity and bacterial abundances was performed using Kruskal-Wallis Rank Sum Test with Benjamin-Hochberg method for correction for multiple comparisons. We used the Mann-Whitney U test to compare phylogenetic distances.

Cell lysis was performed in a FastPrep-24 (MP) device with speed setting 4 for 30 s, and the lysate was centrifuged at 13,400 rpm for 10 min. An equal volume of chloroform/isoamylalcohol (24:1) was added to the supernatant of the lysate, followed by centrifugation at 13,400 rpm for 10 min and collection of the aqueous phase. Nucleic acids were precipitated with an equal volume of isopropanol with addition of 40 μL NaCl 5 M and 1 μL glycogen (20 mg mL−1) as carrier, incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Following centrifugation at 13,400 rpm for 1 h, nucleic acid pellets were washed with 1 mL cold 70% ethanol, dried at 30°C using a SpeedVac centrifuge, eluted in nuclease-free water and stored at −20°C until analysis.

Plants were germinated with the indicated SynCom in the presence or absence of 1 µM flg22 and incubated for 14 d before harvesting. For transcriptome experiments, Col-0 plants were inoculated with SynCom NS3 and SynCom S3 (Fig. 3); pWER::FLS2-GFP plants were inoculated with SynCom NS1 and SynCom S1 (Extended Data Fig. 6). For transcriptome experiments, plants were not transferred to minimize induced damage. Roots from three plates (minimum of 15 plants) were combined as one replicate and a total of three replicates were sampled for each condition. Roots were washed briefly with sterile water and blotted dry before being transferred into Lysing Matrix E tubes (MP Biomedicals) at −80 °C until processing. Roots were homogenized with Lysing Matrix E using a prechilled adapter and the TissueLyser II (QIAGEN, 20 pulses per s for 1 min). RNA was extracted using the Plant RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA quality was determined using a 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). Preparation of Illumina sequencing libraries was conducted by the Max Planck Genome Center using an input of 1 μg total RNA. Sequences were generated using the Illumina HiSeq2500 platform. Approximately 6 million paired-end reads and 20 million single-end reads per sample with a length of 150 bp were generated for Col-0- and pWER::FLS2-GFP-based experiments.

The obtained DNA concentrations ranged from 11.9 ng/μl to 166 ng/μl according to Qubit readings. The DNA libraries were prepared using the Nextera DNA library prep kit according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Fifty nanograms of DNA was used for the preparations. In brief, the DNA was fragmented by the Nextera transposome at 55°C for 5 min and barcoded adapters were added in a 5-cycle PCR amplification. The resulting libraries, including ∼140 bp of adapter, had an average fragment size of 436 bp (±112 bp) and were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq4000 platform (150-bp paired-end reads) at the Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology (IKMB), Kiel University, Germany.

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.
