Received: 1 May 2015 Accepted: PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6833145 11 SeptemberThe relative mRNA levels of selected genes were measured by a two-step real-time RT-PCR analysis with an ABI 7500 Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, USA) using Power SYBR?Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) as previously described [37]. The sequences of the primers used in real-time PCR were developed with Primer version 5.00 (Premier Biosoft International, Palo Alto, CA, USA) and gene-specific primers sequences (Additional file 1: Table S1). For qRTPCR analysis, bacteria were harvested at the time point of 31 h cultivation. The procedures were carried out as described previously. Briefly, the total RNA was isolated using TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen). The quality and the integrity of the RNA samples were evaluated by absorbance measurements (Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 2000 Spectrophotometers) and agarose electrophoresis (Additional file 1: Fig. S2). Genomic DNA was removed from the total RNA using DNase I (Fermentas) and then the total RNA was retrotranscribed to cDNA using RevertAidTM First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Fermentas) according to the manufacturer’s procedure. The cDNAs were used as templates to perform relative quantitative real-time PCR with 16S rRNA as endogenous control. The relative quantification method (delta elta threshold cycle) was used to evaluate quantitative variation between samples examined. mRNA abundance was considered significantly up- or down-regulated when the ratios Capecitabine between two medium were higher than 1.5 or lower than 0.75, respectively.Additional filesAdditional file 1.
