Evaluation of a plasmid-based 16S–23S rDNA intergenic spacer region array for analysis of microbial diversity in industrial wastewater

A plasmid-based 16S–23S rDNA intergenic spacer region (ISR) array was developed and optimized for analysis of microbial diversity within complex environmental samples. Plasmid probes with 16S–23S rDNA ISR inserts (800-1500 bp) from industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) microorganisms were arr...

description A plasmid-based 16S–23S rDNA intergenic spacer region (ISR) array was developed and optimized for analysis of microbial diversity within complex environmental samples. Plasmid probes with 16S–23S rDNA ISR inserts (800-1500 bp) from industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) microorganisms were arrayed onto glass slides. Hybridization of fluorescently labeled target sequences from two clones from the ISR WWTP library to arrayed probes showed that there was a good linear relationship between hybridization intensity and ISR similarity (r2 = 0.82). Hybridization was highly specific (average background from arrayed probes with less than 80% similarity in ISR sequence was less than 7%). Strong fluorescence intensity corresponded to near-perfect match clones (99% or greater similarity in ISR sequence). A majority of probes (79%) showed no background hybridization. However, weak background (less than 50% for arrayed probes with 90% and 95% similarity in the 16S rRNA genes) was observed from closely related microorganisms. Background fluorescence from the negative control (plasmid vector with no insert) was similar to water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-negative controls. Hybridization using fluorescently labeled ISR sequences from a mixed community sample produced strong fluorescent signals with no background from negative controls. A Cy5-labeled reference standard, part of the vector and present in every spotted probe, was used to normalize hybridization values. These results indicate that arrayed plasmid containing ISR probe insert sequences provides specificity and sensitivity for microbial community analysis in a high-throughput array format.
