Problems solved by technology

In most studies, the former method cannot generate DNA fragments with a length > 20kb. If it is used to construct an environmental genomic library with long inserts, this method is obviously not competent.
However, the use of the second method often increases the complexity of the microbial living environment due to the influence of various factors such as soil properties and structure, water content, pH, climate change, and biological activity.

Embodiment 1

[0029] Embodiment one: the acquisition of soil microorganisms

[0030]1. Collect fresh soil samples and pass through an 80-mesh copper sieve.

[0031] 2. Weigh 100 g of the sieved soil sample and add 250 ml of ice-cooled distilled water, stir 3 times with a vortex stirrer under ice bath, each time for 30 seconds, with an interval of 30 seconds.

[0032] 3. Centrifuge at 700-1000 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C and collect the supernatant.

[0033] 4. The pellet was resuspended twice and centrifuged, and all supernatants were combined.

[0034] 5. Centrifuge at 10,000 rpm at 4°C for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and resuspend the pellet with 10 ml of phosphate buffer.

[0035] 6. Carefully add 10 ml of Nycodenz (1.3 g / ml) solution to the bottom of the soil suspension, and centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 30 minutes at 4°C.

[0036] 7. Carefully collect the white cell layer between the Nycodenz-soil suspension, add more than 4 times the volume of phosphate buffer at 10,000 rpm, an...

Embodiment 2

[0042] Example 2: Embedding of microbial cells in low melting point agarose

[0043] 1. Prepare 1% low-melting point agarose solution. The type of solution used is easily consistent with the type of microorganism obtained by resuspension and separation. After heating and dissolving, store it in a water bath at 45 degrees Celsius for later use.

[0044] 2. Adjust the concentration of the obtained soil microbial bacterial liquid with a serum counting plate to reach 2*10 8 cells / ml, mix the above-mentioned 1% low-melting point agarose solution with an equal volume of the adjusted bacterial solution, and quickly fill it into a 2mm*1.5mm*5mm strip module, and place the module in After cooling at 4°C, take it out and store it in an EDTA solution containing 1 micromolar concentration for later use.

[0045] Precautions:

[0046] 1. Adjust the bacterial solution to a suitable concentration. If the concentration is too high, it is not conducive to the in situ lysis of microorganism...

Embodiment 3

[0048] Embodiment three: in situ cracking of microorganisms

[0049] 1. Take out the spare strips in the EDTA solution with a concentration of 1 micromolar, place them in 4 ℃ pre-cooled distilled water for soaking, and shake slowly at the same time, change the distilled water 3 times during the process, and soak in the lysate for the last time.

[0050] 2. After taking out the gel strip, react with the lysate containing 1 mg / ml lysozyme at 37 degrees Celsius for 1 hour while shaking slowly. The volume of the lysate is at least 10 times that of the gel. During this period, lysozyme can be added or the lysate containing lysozyme can be replaced.

[0051] 3. After the cracked strips are taken out, rinse gently with 4°C pre-cooled distilled water several times, and then soak in protease solution for a period of time. Then use at least 4 times the volume of the gel block to degrade the protein with a protease solution containing 1 mg / ml protease at 55 degrees Celsius for more than...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the fields of soil microorganisms, biochemistry and molecular biology and relates to a method for separation and purification of a large-fragment DNA from soil. The method is used for indirect separation and purification of a large-fragment DNA having molecular weight more than 30kb from various types of soil, wherein the large-fragment DNA is used for construction of a metagenomic library, or is used for separation of soil microbial gene clusters. The method solves the problem that separation of microbial cells from soil and preparation of large-fragment soil DNA having high purity and satisfying various biological study demands are realized difficultly by the existing indirect method, and is an efficient method for extraction of soil microorganism DNA having a large fragment and high purity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the fields of soil microorganisms, biochemistry and molecular biology, in particular, the indirect separation and purification of large fragments of DNA of soil microorganisms above 30kb from various soils is used to construct a metagenomic library, or to isolate soil microbial gene clusters. technical background [0002] Soil microorganisms are the most valuable source of natural products that provide many industrially important antibiotics and biocatalysts. Microorganisms of all kinds have an astonishing ability to produce diverse secondary metabolites. Hammond estimates that there are as many as 16×10 microbial species on Earth 9 , are widely distributed in various ecosystems, among which soil is the first habitat in terms of the number and types of microorganisms. Some people use scientific methods to estimate that there are more than 10,000 different microorganisms in 1 gram of soil. Therefore, soil is the base c...
