20 μg of genomic DNA of strain K74 were completely digested with 50 u of the restriction enzyme BamHI (Promega) and electrophoresised. The resulting BamHI fragments with sizes from 1.5 kb to 7.5 kb were recovered from agarose gel using the QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen). The obtained BamHI fragments were ligated into BamHI-cleaved pUC19 vector as follow: 60 ng of purified DNA fragments, 100 ng of pUC19, 2 μl of ligation buffer, and 5 u of T4 ligase (Promega) were mixed; the final reaction volume was adjusted to 20 μl with water. The ligations were performed at 4 °C for 12 h, and the ligation products were desalted using MFTM membrane filters (0.025 μm, VSWP, Millipore) before being electroporated into E. coli strain Trans5α. The transformants were selected on ampicillin-containing LB medium (100 μg/ml) supplemented with IPTG (120 μg/ml) and X-gal (80  μg/ml), the plating density was around 300 colonies per plate (Ø = 14.4 cm). The dot blot on colony was performed following the manual provided with the Amersham Hybond-N+ Membranes (GE Healthcare). The probe used for the hybridization was the same as used in the RFLP analysis. The potential positive clones were confirmed by Southern blot using the same protocol as used in the RFLP analysis, except that the duration of the electrophoresis was 16 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Generation of the pcDNA6/His-mEos2-Rho expression construct was achieved by classical molecular biology techniques. In brief, the coding sequence for mEos2 was extracted from a pSERTa-mEos2 vector (Addgene plasmid 20341) by digestion with BamHI and EcoRI (Promega, Madison, WI) restriction enzymes. The resulting coding DNA fragment was ligated into BamHI and EcoRI digested and alkaline phosphatase (Promega) treated pcDNA6/His-C (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) vector. A c-terminal TGA stop codon carried in by the mEos2 coding sequence was mutated to GGA following a standard Stratagene quick change method. The Rho coding sequence was PCR amplified from a pTAG-RFP-RhoA expression vector (provided by Dr. William Cain) by PFU Ultra II DNA polymerase (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) and the following phosphorylated primers: 5’-CCGACCATCCTCCAAAATC-3’ and 5’-GGATCCCTCCAGCAAGGT-3’ (Integrated DNA Technologies, Coralville, IA). The resulting PCR Rho fragment was blunt end ligated into EcoRV digested and alkaline phosphatase treated pcDNA6/his-mEos2 plasmid DNA. The resulting pcDNA6/His-mEos2-Rho vector was confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

Recombinant plasmid DNAs pBELX and pNORM1, used as qPCR standards, were extracted using the “Wizard® Plus SV Minipreps DNA Purification System” (Promega) according to the recommendations provided by the manufacturer. The plasmids were linearized by BamHI (Promega) before being purified with the “QIAquick PCR DNA purification kit” (Qiagen). Total environmental DNAs were extracted using the “PowerWater DNA Isolation Kit” (MO BIO laboratories Inc). Briefly, 50 mg of sediments or SMs were thawed before being dispersed in 100 mL of non-pyrogenic sterile water (Aqua B-Braun) by vortexing for 30 s followed by 15 min stirring at 160 rpm and 25°C. These sediment/SM suspensions (or 100 mL of sample for raw waters) were filtered on polycarbonate filters (Whatman Nuclepore filter, pore size 0.22 μm, diameter 47 mm) using a filtration apparatus (Combisart 6-branch Manifold, Sartorius). Total DNAs were directly extracted from the filters according to the recommendations provided by the manufacturer and were eluted from silica columns with 100 μL of PCR grade water (RNase-Free Water, Qiagen). Plasmid and total DNA concentration and purity were estimated by spectrophotometry according to standard procedures, and all DNAs were stored at -20°C until use.

Expression cassettes and plasmids were assembled in a single reaction using the Gibson Assembly® Master Mix (New England Biolabs—NEB) [85 (link)], and the backbone pRS426 [86 (link)] cleaved with BamHI (Promega). The sequences coding the putative transporters were amplified by PCR using Phusion DNA polymerase (New England BioLabs—NEB) from the gDNA of C. sojae. The control transporter GXF1 was amplified from Candida intermedia genome, using specific primers for each gene (Additional file 10: Table S6). Sequences of TDH1 promoter and terminator were amplified from S. cerevisiae strain LVA1 genome [10 (link)]. Fragments from PCR amplifications were purified from agarose gel using the Kit Wizard® SV Gel and PCR Clean-Up System (Promega) before the assembly reaction. Cassettes containing the genes XYL1 and XYL2 from S. stipitis and XKS1 from S. cerevisiae were amplified from the plasmids pSsXRXDH and pScXKS (Santos, personal communication). Both cassettes use the URA3 gene flanked by two loxP sites as marker. The correct frame of the gene sequences cloned in the plasmids and expression cassettes were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The main components of the plasmids are summarized in Additional file 11: Table S7.

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.
