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.
Project description:Chronic acid suppression by proton pump inhibitor (PPI) has been hypothesized to alter the gut microbiota via a change in intestinal pH. To evaluate the changes in gut microbiota composition by long-term PPI treatment. Twenty-four week old F344 rats were fed with (n = 5) or without (n = 6) lansoprazole (PPI) for 50 weeks. Then, profiles of luminal microbiota in the terminal ileum were analyzed. Pyrosequencing for 16S rRNA gene was performed by genome sequencer FLX (454 Life Sciences/Roche) and analyzed by metagenomic bioinformatics.

Project description:Purpose: This study aims to compare and analyze the differences in bacterial community composition in fecal samples from mice treated with Control(DW), Vancomycin (VAN), Ampicillin (AMP), Neomycin (NEO), Metronidazole (MET), and a combination of all antibiotics (ALL, VANM) using 16S rRNA sequencing. Methods: Each antibiotics treated mice's fecal samples were collected and stored -80'c until analyzation. DNA was extracted using the NucleoSpin DNA Stool Kit (MACHEREY-NAGEL) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Metagenomic sequencing was performed on an Illumina MiSeq platform (Illumina), targeting the V3 and V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene according to the manufacturer's instructions. PCR products were purified using AMPure XP beads, and sequencing adapters were added using the Nextera XT Index Kit (Illumina). The library was further purified with AMPure XP beads and quantified using automated electrophoresis with the TapeStation System (Agilent). Sequencing was performed using the MiSeq v3 reagent kit (Illumina), following the manufacturer’s protocol. Results: QIIME2 (v2023.02) was used to process and analyze 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data, from sequence preprocessing to taxonomic classification. Paired-end sequences were merged and quality-filtered using Deblur. The resulting amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were used for downstream analyses. Conclusions: Our study presents a comparative analysis of bacterial community composition in fecal samples from antibiotic-treated mice. We observed that microbiota composition varied distinctly depending on the type of antibiotic administered.
