Project description:A phylogenetic microarray targeting 66 families described in the human gut microbiota has been developped aud used to monitor the gut microbiota's structure and diversity. The microarray format provided by Agilent and used in this study is 8x15K. A study with a total of 4 chips was realized. Arrays 1 and 2: Hybridization with 100ng of labelled 16S rRNA gene amplicons from a mock community sample and 250ng of labelled 16S rRNA gene amplicons from 1 faecal sample. Each Agilent-030618 array probe (4441) was synthetized in three replicates. Arrays 3 and 4: Hybridization with 250ng of labelled 16S rRNA gene amplicons from 2 faecal samples. Each Agilent-40558 array probe (4441) was synthetized in three replicates.
Project description:Here we report a direct tRNA sequencing protocol and software to simultaneously examine the composition and biological activity of naturally occurring microbial communities. Our analysis of mouse gut microbiome with tRNA-seq and 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicons revealed comparable microbial community structures, and additional physiological insights into the microbiome through tRNA abundance and modifications.
Project description:Our data indicates that a higher bacterial species diversity is associated with a biologically stable and non-pathogenic co-culture. We established a commensal human skin model to more accurately emulate healthy skin and facilitate future investigations of microbiome-mediated effects on host health. The system is based on a commercial human full-thickness skin model that can be stably colonized with a defined bacterial community. This community comprises ten different bacterial species that encompass three main phyla, Bacillota, Actinomycetota, and Pseudomonadota, in ratios similar to those found on human skin (BAP). The suitability of BAP for skin colonization was evaluated against combinations of two or one phyla (BA, BP, AP, B, A, and P).
Project description:Total DNA was extracted from stool specimens, amplified to collect amplicons of variable V3–V4 regions of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene and sequenced with MiSeq (2x300bp) Illumina platform.
Project description:Total DNA was extracted from saliva and stool of the patients, amplified to collect amplicons of variable V3–V4 regions of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene and sequenced with MiSeq (2x300bp) Illumina platform.
Project description:Total DNA was extracted from FFPE specimens of breast tumor and surrounding healthy tissue, amplified to collect amplicons of variable V3–V4 regions of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene and sequenced with MiSeq (2x300bp) Illumina platform.
Project description:Total DNA was extracted from the stool of the patients, amplified to collect amplicons of variable V3–V4 regions (primers 341F and 805R) of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene and sequenced with MiSeq (2x300bp) Illumina platform.
Project description:Anaerobic bacteria in the oral cavity can cause respiratory infections. However, their precise mechanisms of action remain elusive. Unexpectedly, bacterial flora analysis using 16s rRNA revealed ‘hidden’ mixed infections of anaerobic bacteria and commensal oral Streptococcus species in community-acquired pneumonia. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the mechanisms by which Prevotella intermedia exacerbates oral streptococcal pneumonia.
Project description:Investigation of the phylogenetic diversity of Acidobacteria taxa using PCR amplicons from positive control 16S rRNA templates and total genomic DNA extracted from soil and a soil clay fraction A ten chip study using PCR amplicons from cloned 16S rRNA genes and from diverse soil 16S rRNAs, with PCR primers specific to the Division Acidobacteria. Each chip measures the signal from 42,194 probes (in triplicate) targeting Acidobacteria division, subdivision, and subclades as well as other bacterial phyla. All samples except one (GSM464591) include 2.5 M betaine in the hybridization buffer. Pair files lost due to a computer crash.
