Determination of Wolbachia genome size by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
Genome sizes of six different Wolbachia strains from insect and nematode hosts have been determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of purified DNA both before and after digestion with rare-cutting restriction endonucleases. Enzymes SmaI, ApaI, AscI, and FseI cleaved the studied Wolbachia strains at a small number of sites and were used for the determination of the genome sizes of wMelPop, ...
متن کاملDetermination of Gardnerella vaginalis genome size by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
The chromosomal DNA of four strains of Gardnerella vaginalis were digested with rare cutting restriction enzymes and analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The four strains studied were two clinical isolates (GVP 004 & GVP 007) and two American Type Culture Collection strains (ATCC 14018 & ATCC 14019). The restriction enzyme SfiI generated two DNA fragments of about 0.6 Mb and 1.1...
متن کاملPulsed field gel electrophoresis and genome size estimates.
Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is a quick and reliable procedure to resolve DNA molecules larger than 30 kb by applying an electric field that periodically changes direction. This technique can be used to estimate genome size of a microorganism, to reveal if a genome is circular or linear, to indicate the presence of megaplasmids, and to show if a strain contains only one or more chrom...
متن کاملDetermination of the genome size of Ehrlichia spp., using pulsed field gel electrophoresis.
Ehrlichiae are obligatory intracellular, Gram-negative bacteria which belong to the alpha subclass of the phylum Proteobacteria and are responsible for infectious diseases of humans. Little is known about genetics and genomic organization of Ehrlichia spp. The genome sizes of four representatives of the genus Ehrlichia were determined for the first time by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. The ...
متن کاملPulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
DNA molecules in an agarose matrix elongate and migrate toward the anode when exposed to an electric field. An agarose matrix represents a highly irregular network with pores of various dimensions, large open areas, and regions with different densities. During electrophoresis, migration will be retarded by obstructions that prevent sieving by size and result in "end-on" migration as if through ...
