16s-23s Rdna: Polymorphisms and Their Use for Detection and Identification of Xylella Fastidiosa Strains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strains of Xylella fastidiosa from several hosts (coffee, citrus, grape, almond, oleander, peach, plum, etc.) were characterized by analyzing the content of the nucleotide sequences of 16S-23S rDNA (coding for a small subunit ribosomal RNA) spacer region (ITS). Current methods for sequencing the ITS region yields partial sequences that do not contribute with significant information. According to this fact, new primers have been designed in order to obtain a complete sequence and facilitate the sequencing. The complete 16S-23S sequences from 08 strains were amplified through PCR using the primers designed in our lab. The 16S-23S sequences obtained were compared with 52 others sequences entries in GenBank database. The results revealed a higher level of variation than that found in 16S gene sequences, with similarity values ranging from 0.79-1.00. The dendogram based on similarity data revealed 5 main groups. This spacer sequence contains two genes for tRNA (tRNA and tRNA). The sequence analysis of the tRNA content showed a conserved region with a few differences in the nucleotide composition.

Molecular Identification of Rare Clinical Mycobacteria by Application of 16S-23S Spacer Region Sequencing
Objective(s) In addition to several molecular methods and in particular 16S rDNA analysis, the application of a more discriminatory genetic marker, i.e., 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer gene sequence has had a great impact on identification and classification of mycobacteria. In the current study we aimed to apply this sequencing power to conclusive identification of some Iranian clinical ...
متن کاملDEVELOPING A MICROARRAY-PCR-BASED IDENTIFICATION AND DETECTION SYSTEM FOR XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA STRAINS IMPORTANT TO CALIFORNIA Project Leaders:
From the analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence of Xylella fastidiosa, we have identified four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The combination of these four SNPs placed all of the known X. fastidiosa strains into four groups. With a few exceptions, the four SNP groups are very similar to those based on other genetic analyses such as RAPD analysis, whole 16S rDNA sequence analysis, and the co...
متن کاملTwo Xylella fastidiosa Genotypes Associated with Almond Leaf Scorch Disease on the Same Location in California.
ABSTRACT Almond leaf scorch disease (ALSD) has recently reemerged in the San Joaquin Valley of California threatening almond production. ALSD is caused by Xylella fastidiosa, a nutritionally fastidious bacterium. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) of X. fastidiosa strains were identified to characterize the bacterial population in infected trees. Genotype-spe...
متن کاملUniversal detection of phytoplasmas and Xylella spp. by TaqMan singleplex and multiplex real-time PCR with dual priming oligonucleotides
Phytoplasmas and Xylella spp. are bacteria that cause many economically important plant diseases worldwide. TaqMan probe-based quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays have been utilized to universally detect phytoplasmas or Xylella fastidiosa. To develop a superior universal qPCR method, we used a dual priming oligonucleotide (DPO) with two annealing sites as a reverse pr...

DNA corresponding to 16S rDNA and the 165-23S rDNA intergenic spacer (ITS) from 22 reference strains of acetic acid bacteria, representing the diversity of the family Acetobacteraceae, and 24 indigenous acetic acid bacteria isolated from wine fermentations were analysed by PCR-RFLP. Frateuria aurantia LMG 1558T and Escherichia coli ATCC 11775T were included as outgroups. PCR-amplified products ...
