Report Agilent Experiment 4, 11-12-2002 (version 1/8/2003) Outline of experiment In this experiment the hybridization patterns of 16S PCR fragments of six different species were studied. The 6 species show different levels of relatedness. They are: 1. Bacillus subtilis 2. Bacillus sphaericus 3. Bacillus thuringiensis 4. Staphylococcus aureus 5. Enterococcus faecalis 6. Streptococcus oralis All 6 PCR fragments were amplified with primers 8F and 1391R, and RP labeled with Cy5. They were hybed against Cy3 RP-labeled CR pool version 2 (with added B. subtilis). CR = Common reference pool (equimolar mixture of 16S PCR fragments of app. 180 strains) RP=random prime (labeling with random hexamers) Cy3 is the green channel Cy5 is the red channel Both the single species and the CR pool were used in an endconcentration of 100 ng/ml.

There is a trend: the less related to B. subtilis, the lower the average red signal, and the higher the green signal. Competition? Plot rBGSubSignal or NormSignal vs. position on Bacillus subtilis 16S gene: Hybridizations with all six species yields an up and down curve, so not all probes bind the labeled PCR product with the same efficiency. Two possibilities: 1. some probes have higher affinity to labeled PCR products than others (all have same length so there will be variations in GC content, different Tm, secundary structure) 2. conserved probes compete with Common Reference pool, specific probes do not In most cases the CR (green signal) goes up and down together with the red signals. This suggests that effect 1 is stronger than effect 2. Comparison of the six species: starting with BacSubt and moving “up the tree” more and more peaks disappear. E.g. peaks at position 180, 450, 1000, and 1250 seem BacSubt specific, not present in other species in this genus.

Overall signal much lower than single species hybe signal. The CR consists of a pool of PCR fragments of 180 different bacteria so only a few species (the ones closely related to Bacillus subtilis) can bind specifically. The CR signal is the highest in the Streptococcus oralis hybe, the species the least related to the Bacillus subtilis probes, suggesting competition between the common reference and the single species.

The logratio’s of Bacillus subtilis hybes are almost all above 0, so much stronger red signal than red. Peaks around position 190, 450, 1000 and 1280 (same as in plot BGSubSignal).The ratio’s of the less related Streptococcus oralis are more around 0.
