  7. Pathway of MC Analysis by PCR-SSCP • Extraction and purification of environmental DNA • PCR and generation of single-stranded PCR products for SSCP • Generation of SSCP profilespouring of gel - running electrophoresis - staining procedure • Isolation and identification of products from SSCP-profilescloning and sequencing

  8. Critical Factors for MC Analysis by PCR-SSCP • Extraction and purification of nucleic acids from environmental samples • PCR conditions, additives (e.g. T4GP32) • Targeted gene fragments, e.g. which variable region? • Denaturing procedure • Concentrations and cross-linking of polyacrylamide gels, gel length, temperature • Additives in the gel (MDE?) glycerol, formamide • Staining procedure • .....

  9. Analysis and interpretation of SSCP profiles • Pattern Analysisscanning of whole gels, recording on line, e.g. by ABI machine - digital image analysis, transformation of data, algorithm of pattern comparisons, e.g., Pearson, Dice, ...(GelCompar, WinCam, ...) - Cross-Gel comparisons!!! • Identification of Single Components (Band i.d.)Isolations (crush and soak), reamplification, product check by SSCP with regenerated opposite strand, direct sequencing or cloning in E. coli etc. (non-16S primers)

  10. PCR and generation of single-stranded PCR products • PCR-amplify target from environmental DNA (dilution, + T4GP321) - size 300 to 500 bp - one phosphorylated and one non-posphorylated primer • Purify product (Qiaquick2) • Digest with lambda exonuclease (USB, NEB) of purified PCR product; 10 U at 37°C for 1 h • Purify by phenol-chloroform extraction or Qiaquick • final volume should not be above 20 (l) 1, according to Tebbe and Vahjen, 1993, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 59: 2657-2665; 2, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany

  11. Generation of SSCP-patterns • Macrophor System (Pharmacia) • MDE (0.6-fold; corresp. to approx. 7 % polyacryl amide; FMC BioWhittaker), no glycerol etc. • cast on thermostatic plate treated with repel silane, cover plate with bind silane - spacer 0.4 mm, fixed with clamps • MDE in 1 x TBE, filtrate and degas • add TEMED and APS for polymerisation • cast gel, add comb • 2 h at room temperature

  12. Generation of SSCP patterns (cont.) • insert gel into chamber, add running buffer (TBE) in buffer chambers, activate cooling system at, e.g., 18°C • instead of glass plates, GelBond PAG membranes can also be used • mix DNA samples with one vol of loading buffer (95 % formamide, 10 mM NaOH, 0.025 % bromophenol blue and xylene cyanole, resp.. Heat to 95°C for 2 min, immediately chill on ice for 3 min - load up to 8 μl into a sample well

  13. Generation of SSCP patterns (cont.) • Addition of formamide increases the quality of the profiles by preventing non-specific annealing of DNA • run gels: longer gels at 750 to 800 V for 18 to 24 h, shorter gels at 400 V for 14 to 16 hkeep temperature at 20°C • remove spacers and comb, carefully detach cover glass plate • start staining procedure ...

  14. Generation of SSCP patterns (cont.) • Staining: Silver staining procedure by Bassam et al.1 - stick to the protocol (very critical) use trays made of stainless steel - use shaking table • freshly prepared:silver nitrate foraldehyde (ss)sodium bicarbonate-formaldehyde-thiosulfate (ds) at 8°C!; acetic acid (stop solution) • wash with distilled water - control developer process and stop at the right moment (e.g., 5-10 min) 1, Anal. Biochem. 196:80-83 (1991); detection limit 15 pg ds DNA per band

  15. Drying under the hood Gel on the light table

  16. Isolation and Identification of Bands • it even works with olde gels (> 0.5 years under the hood) • dried gels are rehydrated with A. dest. for 2 to 5 min • cut out selected bands with a razor blade - transer to a microfuge tube - crush and soak (Sambrook et al., 1989) • reamplify with same primers by PCR, purify with Qiaquick, check on SSCP next to a community profile. Products which match with the intended bands can then be sequenced
