We describe a new degenerate real-time PCR approach to simultaneously quantify phylogenetically different butyrate-producing bacteria based on the detection of butyryl-coenzyme A (CoA) CoA transferase genes. This pathway is present in numerically important groups of butyrate producers within the human colon, and thus this assay estimates the butyrate-producing ability of the microbiota.
我们描述了一种新的简并实时聚合酶链反应方法,该方法基于丁酰辅酶A(CoA)CoA转移酶基因的检测,同时对系统发育上不同的产丁酸细菌进行定量。此途径存在于人类结肠中数量众多的产丁酸菌群体中,因此该检测方法可评估微生物群的产丁酸能力。
