Introduction

This application describes the use of the MasterTaq polymerase kit for improving PCR efficiency when studying functional gene presence. Using this polymerase, it was possible to amplify a 675 bp region of the amoA gene in lab-grown Nitrosococcus oceani, which has previously been met with many obstacles when utilizing other commercially available enzyme kits.

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a now-commonplace method used for making several copies of a specific gene for further manipulation, or for simply observing whether or not a specific gene is present.

Lab cultures of Nitrosococcus oceani and other ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) are notoriously difficult to study. They exhibit slow growth and therefore are easily contaminated by hetero t rophs. In addition to this hurdle, the gene used in this study is often found with three clustered subunits (amoA, amoB, and amoC) within some members of AOB (Alzerecca et. al, Sayavedra-Soto et. al). The gene lengths are remarkably similar; there f o re, the study of a single gene in
this area of the chromosome can be quite challenging.

Materials and Methods

Bacterial Preparation
Nitrosococcus oceani (ATCC 19707) was cultured in ATCC Medium 928 in a shaking incubator (100 rpm) at 27 C. Using 12.5% K2CO3, the pH level was maintained at ~8.3. Twenty-five milliliters were extracted and purified using a Qiagen blood Mini Prep Kit.
