Centrifuge 1 ml of the overnight culture until the cells form a pellet at the bottom of the tube (about 5 minutes at 10,000 g), pour off the liquid on top (the supernatant) and resuspend the pellet in 100 μl of sterile DNAase-free water. Incubate the samples at 100°C for 10 minutes to help lyse the cells. Use the resulting solution as the template in the PCR reaction below.
##PCR reaction
This reaction uses the 27F (AGAGTTTGATCMTGGCTCAG) and 1391R (GACGGGCGGTGTGTRCA) primers which amplify a near full-length bacterial (and many archaeal) 16S rRNA gene. Our lab uses standard PCR reagents (Qiagen or Kappa), with an annealing temperature of
54°C 54 °C and an extension at
72°C 72 °C of 90 seconds. Do not forget to include positive (any sample containing bacterial genomic DNA that you have successfully amplified before) and negative (_e.g_., replace DNA with water) controls.
The full program we use is:
1: 95 °C for 2:00
2: 95 °C for :15
3: 54 °C for :30
4: 72 °C for 1:30
5: Go to 2 (40 times)
6: 72 °C for 3:00
7: 4 °C forever
After PCR is completed, confirm the PCR reaction worked by agarose gel electrophoresis, all controls behaved as expected, and that you have DNA fragments of the correct size (~1350bp).
