An update and optimisation of oligonucleotide probes targeting methanogenic Archaea for use in fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH)

Crocetti, Greg LU ; Murto, Marika LU and Björnsson, Lovisa LU (2006) In Journal of Microbiological Methods 65(1). p.194-201
Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) is a common and popular method used to investigate microbial populations in natural and engineered environments. DNA oligonucleoticle probes require accurate determination of the optimal experimental conditions for their use in FISH Oligonucleotides targeting the rRNA of methanogenic Archaea at various taxonomic levels have previously been published, although when applied in FISH, no optimisation data has been presented In this study, 3000 Euryarchaeota 16S rRNA gene sequences were phylogenetically analysed and previously published oligonucleoticles were evaluated for target group accuracy. Where necessary, modifications were introduced or new probes were designed. The updated set of probes was... (More)
