Identification of P. agglomerans KM1 by 16S rRNA sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A single colony of P. agglomerans KM1 was grown in LB broth (Conda, Spain) overnight at 37°C. The genomic DNA was isolated using the LaboPass™ Tissue Genomic DNA mini kit (Cosmo Genetech, Seoul, South Korea) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The identity of the isolate was verified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified from the extracted genomic DNA using 16S universal primers 27F (5’-AGA GTTTGATCMTGGCTCAG-3’) and 1492R (5’-GGTTACCTTGTTACGACTTC-3’) and sequenced using an automated ABI3730XL capillary DNA sequencer (Applied Biosystems, USA) for taxonomic identification at Cosmo Genetech (Seoul, South Korea). The 16S rRNA sequences were confirmed through BLASTn search against the NCBI microbial 16S database.

Positive PCR products were directly sequenced by dideoxy chain termination with an automatic sequencer (ABI 3730 xl capillary DNA sequencer, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California, USA) using above primers and additional 17 (5′-AGAATTTCACCTCTG-3′) primers. All of sequence data were linked with single sequence. The resulting sequences were aligned and then subjected to phylogenetic analyses of the SSU rRNA genes against previously sequenced Sarcocystis species as well as with other registered sequences of Sarcocysits spp. from intermediate hosts, retrieved from GenBank using the BLAST program (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST). A score of sequences were aligned by DNASTAR (DNASTAR Inc.), Clustal W (www.clustal.org), and MEGA 6.0 [12 (link)]. Neighbor-joining [13 (link),14 (link)] methods were based on a guide tree as pairwise and multiple alignment parameters. The final alignment comprised a score of sequences with 36 taxa.

The amplified PCR products were purified using a Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After purification, the PCR products were cloned into the pGEMt-T Easy Vector Systems (Promega, Madison, Wisconsin), followed by transformation into Escherichia coli DH5a cells, and then the cells were plated onto LB agar containing 100 lg/ml of ampicillin. Recombinant clones were selected by blue-white screening. Plasmid DNA for sequencing was purified using the MGe Plasmid SV Miniprep kits (Macrogen, Seoul, Korea). Purified recombinant plasmid DNA was sequenced using a T7 and SP6 promoter primer set by dideoxy termination with an automatic sequencer (ABI 3730xl capillary DNA sequencer, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California). The obtained sequences were evaluated with Chromas software (Ver. 2.6.2, http://technelysium.com.au/wp/chromas/) and aligned by Clustal X2 (Ver 2.0, http://www.clustal.org/). Phylogenetic trees were constructed using the maximum-likelihood method in the Kimura 2-parameter model with the MEGA 7 program (1,000 bootstrap replicates) (Kimura, 1980; Kumar et al., 2016) . The nucleotide sequences generated were deposited into GenBank under accession numbers MK389598-MK389641, MK605995-MK606024, MK606031-MK606060, and MK613790-MK613833 for the 16S rRNA gene and MK836055-MK836059 and MT040624 for COI.

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.
