Abstract
A Common Primer Duplex PCR (CP-D-PCR) was developed to screen polysaccharide-producing recombinant yeast strains from the genotype. This method demonstrated higher sensitivity and efficiency than the conventional methods. In this study, two pairs of primers were designed according to the constitutive protein of photosynthesis from Nostoc punctiforme (N. punctiforme) PCC73120 which is similar to Nostoc flagelliforme (N.flagelliforme). Genomic DNA of N. flagelliforme and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (R. mucilaginosa) were used as templates for amplification and to verify by PCR reaction. Duplex PCR screening system was established on the basis of the simplex PCR screening system and the products of PCR were analyzed by agorae gel electrophoresis. The results showed that both selected primers were able to correctly amplify the objective gene fragment (800 bp, 550 bp) with the N. flagelliforme genomic DNA. Electrophoresis showed clear and consistent bands after PCR amplification, respectively. No amplifications were obtained with R. mucilaginosa genomic DNA as template. And we have successfully screened five recombinant yeast strains from three hundred and seventy-five strains using duplex PCR screening method. So, the CP-D-PCR was used to screen recombinant yeast strains quickly, accurately and efficiently. This method provides a scientific basis to screen recombinant strains constructed by distant hybridization and no sufficient genetic information about the parent strains.
