and 0.5 U FastStart PCR Taq DNA Polymerase (Roche). The thermal profile was as follows: 10 min at 95°C, then 40 cycles of 20 s at 95°C, 30 s at 60°C, 40 s at 72°C and a final step of 5 min at 72°C.
The first PCR was performed on a volume of 25 µL containing: 1× reaction buffer, 1.5 mM MgCl 2, 200 µM dNTPs, 10 pmol of each primer (Mbcr1: 5′-GAAGTGTTTCAGAAGCTTCTC-3′; 2oabl1: 5′-TGATTAAGCCTAAGACCC ...
5’ATTACCGCGGCTGCTGG3’), and 5 U of Hot Start TaKaRa Taq Polymerase. The forward primer contains 40 base pair (bp) of high G+C content (a GC clamp), which prevents complete dissociation of the DNA ...
In recent years, quantitative real-time PCR tests have been extensively developed in clinical microbiology laboratories for routine diagnosis of infectious diseases, particularly bacterial diseases.
PCR was performed by using bisulfite-treated DNA as templates. The sequences of interest were amplified using polymerase Takara Ex Taq Hot Start (Clontech, Mountain View, CA) and methylation-neutral ...
3). In PGP gene expression profile studies, good quality RNA was isolated from all the four actinomycete strains. qRT-PCR analysis on selected PGP genes of actinomycetes revealed up-regulation of all ...
