Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To analyze yet-cultured microbes (YCM) in the environment, device and technique were studied to manually isolate single cell. (1) For manually isolation, a slow-flow focusing microchannel was developed using electrophoresis and hydrostatic pressure pumps. The pumps reduced the flow rates at less than 1/10 of conventional pump, enabling operator to recognize flowing cells. (2) To prevent contamination, single microbe was isolated by embedding in agarose. An agarose film was prepared from a gel containing E. coli, laser absorbent, and hydrophilic polymer (PVA) by drying. From the agarose film, a small piece (approx. 100 x 100 x 20 um) containing single cell was dissected by laser microdissection. After the piece was swelled in buffer by dissolving PVA, the E. coli genomic DNA was specifically amplified in the swelled agarose by Phi 29 DNA polymerase. Thus, the developed device and technology will provide unique tools for symbiotic genomics of specific environment-colonized YUM.
