Abstract: |
For sludge samples from EBPR reactor fed with municipal wastewater,fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) operation process including moisture chamber,pretreatment,treatment with lysozyme and Proteinase K and washing time was optimized and improved.Preserving box was chosen to be moisture chamber due to its bigger depth /radii ratio,good sealability and big volume contrast with Petri dish.3-5 mm diameter glass balls could disperse samples without destroying microorganism cells and community structure.Impurities and ECPs could be removed easily and sludge samples became thinner after dispersing which benefit the observation.Permeabilized cells with lysozyme and Proteinase K could enhance probe penetration before hybridization.Experiments of different treatment time with lysozyme and Proteinase K were carried out.Best results were observed when sludge samples treated with lysozyme 10 min/Proteinase K 20 min or lysozyme 20 min/Proteinase K 10 min.Slides were washed at 48 ℃ for 10,20,30,40 and 60 min in parallel.The best washing time was 20 min when washing temperature was 48 ℃.Fluorescent dye could residue when washing time was 10 min and washing out happened when washed for 30 min or more. |
