Interesting article comparing Ingeny to Biorad

Hi Folks -
I just found this article in which the authors examine the effects of using different DGGE systems on the same samples.
Cheers,
Stefan

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology. 10.1007/s11274-010-0349-z.


Abstract
We compared two denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) systems—DCode (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA) and PhorU (Ingeny, Leiden, NL), performing community level 16S and 18S rRNA gene fragment-PCR-DGGE with total DNA extracted from upland pasture soil used for outdoor cattle husbandry. The methodological evaluation of the DGGE apparatus as parameter influencing DGGE fingerprinting, based on cluster analysis of soil bacterial and fungal community fingerprints, was made in terms of the resulting information about microbial community structures and their response to different degrees of cattle impact. Although the comparative DGGE analysis with different DGGE systems provided similar clustering of microbial community structures in correlation with the degree of cattle impact, our results suggest the DGGE system to be a factor influencing DGGE analysis. To our knowledge this is the first attempt to investigate the hypothetical impact of the DGGE system due to different technical characteristics, recommending the use of one and the same DGGE apparatus throughout an experiment, if the monitoring of microbial community structures requires multiple gel-to-gel analysis.

Interesting indeed. It seems that DGGE is revealing its hidden faces little by little. There is also a study by Coman et al in Antonie van Leeuwenhoek about certain limits of DGGE. In my opinion is quite an interesting paper. Cheers!

What a revelation. The different DGGE systems on the same samples? Thank you for the data and the resources that link to the guide and more.

best canister vacuums
The flooring materials on the floors exist in different forms and the cleaning machines having some specific abilities can do the cleaning perfectly.
