Introduction
This methodology is based on specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a genetic sequence
for the detection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from animal feed or animal feed probiotic supplement.
The aim of this method is to identify authorised probiotic yeast strains. Molecular typing methods and
especially PCR amplification based methods used to characterise the yeast strains require high quality high
molecular weight genomic DNA. The method of DNA extraction from the yeast must facilitate these
requirements.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification defines a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methodology for the identification of S.
cerevisiae probiotic yeast strains. Additionally, a method for the extraction of high quality DNA from yeast is
suggested.
2 Principle
This method is based upon the amplification of δ elements which are present in the yeast genome. Two
primers are used for the PCR reaction, which are a modification of Ness et al. [1]. Distinct patterns are
produced for probiotic S. cerevisiae strains when separated in agarose gels by electrophoresis. Patterns are
visualised under UV light after electrophoresis and ethidium bromide staining of the agarose gel.
The PCR analysis of individual yeast colonies isolated from agar plates involved the following steps:
1. DNA extraction and purification;
2. PCR reaction;
3. Gel electrophoresis;
4. Analysis of results.
Individual and typical colonies can be obtained following growth on appropriate agar media whereby the
standard enumeration procedure is recommended that uses yeast extract dextrose chloramphenicol agar
(CGYE) [1]. Typical colonies are picked from agar plates to inoculate 10 ml malt extract broth which is cultured
overnight at 30 °C in a shaking incubator e.g. an orbital incubator revolving at 100 rpm, or equivalent. The
cells are subsequently harvested and DNA is extracted following the instructions from manufacturers when
using kits or other appropriate procedures. The DNA extraction procedure is a sequential process of outer cell
wall removal, lysis of nuclei, protein precipitation and removal, followed by precipitation of the nucleic acid.
An extraction procedure is described e.g. by Hoffman and Winston [2].
