Soil quality - Estimation of abundance of selected microbial gene sequences by quantitative PCR from DNA directly extracted from soil (ISO 17601:2016)

ISO 17601:2016 specifies the crucial steps of a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method to measure the abundance of selected microbial gene sequences from soil DNA extract which provides an estimation of selected microbial groups.
It is noteworthy that the number of genes is not necessarily directly linked to the number of organisms that are measured. For example, the number of ribosomal operon is ranging from one copy to 20 copies in different bacterial phyla. Therefore, the number of 16S rRNA sequences quantified from soil DNA extracts does not give an exact estimate of the number of soil bacteria. Furthermore, the number of sequences is not necessarily linked to living microorganisms and can comprise sequences amplified from dead microorganisms.

Bodenbeschaffenheit - Abschätzung der Häufigkeit ausgewählter mikrobieller Gensequenzen durch quantitative PCR aus DNA-Boden-Extrakten (ISO 17601:2016)

Diese Internationale Norm legt die entscheidenden Schritte eines Verfahrens der quantitativen Real-time-Polymerase-Kettenreaktion (qPCR) zur Messung der Häufigkeit ausgewählter mikrobieller Gensequenzen aus Boden-DNA-Extrakten fest, welche eine Quantifizierung ausgewählter mikrobieller Gruppen ermöglicht.
Dabei gilt, dass die Anzahl von Genen nicht zwangsläufig direkt mit der Anzahl an gemessenen Organismen korreliert. Zum Beispiel wurden für ribosomale Operons in unterschiedlichen Bakterienstämmen von einer bis zu 20 Kopien pro Zelle beschrieben. Daher ergibt die Quantifizierung von 16S rRNA-Sequenzen aus extrahierter DNA aus Bodenproben mittels qPCR nur einen Anhaltspunkt für die Häufigkeit von Bodenbakterien. Außerdem ist die DNA auch nach dem Zelltod in Böden persistent und daher kein Maß für die lebende Biomasse.

Qualité du sol - Estimation de l'abondance de séquences de gènes microbiens par amplification par réaction de polymérisation en chaîne (PCR) quantitative à partir d'ADN directement extrait du sol (ISO 17601:2016)

ISO 17601:2016 spécifie les étapes principales d'une méthode d'amplification par réaction de polymérisation en chaîne (PCR) quantitative (qPCR) permettant de mesurer l'abondance de séquences spécifiques de gènes microbiens à partir d'un extrait d'ADN du sol qui fournit une estimation de l'abondance de groupes microbiens spécifiques.
Il convient de noter que le nombre de gènes n'est pas nécessairement lié directement au nombre de micro-organismes mesurés. Par exemple, le nombre d'opérons ribosomiques est compris entre une et 20 copies dans différents phyla bactériens. Par conséquent, le nombre de séquences d'ARNr 16S quantifiées dans des extraits d'ADN du sol ne donne pas une estimation exacte du nombre de bactéries contenues dans le sol. Par ailleurs, le nombre de séquences n'est pas nécessairement lié à des micro-organismes vivants et peut comprendre des séquences amplifiées à partir de l'ADN extrait de micro-organismes morts.

Kakovost tal - Ocena številčnosti izbranih sekvenc mikrobnih genov s kvantitativnim PCR analizatorjem v talnih ekstraktih DNK (ISO 17601:2016)

Standard ISO 17601:2016 določa ključne korake pri metodi kvantitativne verižne reakcije s polimerazo v realnem času (qPCR) za merjenje številčnosti izbranih sekvenc mikrobnih genov v talnih ekstraktih DNK, ki zagotavlja oceno izbranih mikrobnih skupin.
Omeniti je treba, da število genov ni nujno neposredno povezano s številom organizmov, ki so izmerjeni. Število ribosomskih operonov lahko na primer znaša od ene do 20 kopij v različnih deblih bakterij. Zaradi tega število sekvenc 16S rRNA, kvantificiranih iz talnih ekstraktov DNK, ne zagotavlja točne ocene števila bakterij v tleh. Poleg tega število sekvenc ni nujni povezano z živimi mikroorganizmi in lahko zajema sekvence, povečane z mrtvimi mikroorganizmi.

Introduction
DNA (DNAs) is a major component of any living organisms coding for enzymes responsible for
their biological activities. The study of DNA sequences from DNA sources extracted from different
environmental matrices, by means of numerous molecular approaches, provides molecular markers that
can be used to sharply distinguish and identify different organisms (bacteria, archaea, and eucaryotes).
Up to now, most of the studies aiming to develop microbial quality indicators applicable to complex
environment such as soil were biased by the poor culturability of many microorganisms under
laboratory conditions and the lack of sensitivity of traditional microbiological methods. The recent
development of a large set of molecular biology methods based on amplification of soil-extracted
nucleic acids have provided a pertinent alternative to classical culture-based microbiological methods
[2]
providing unique insight into the composition, richness, and structure of microbial communities.
[3] [4] [5] [6]
  DNA-based approaches are now well established in soil ecology and serve as genotypic
markers for determining microbial diversity. The results of molecular analyzes of soil microbial
communities and/or populations rely on two main parameters: a) the extraction of DNA representative
of the indigenous bacterial community composition and b) PCR bias such as the choice of primers, the
[7] [4] [8] [9]
concentration of amplified DNA, errors in the PCR, or even the method chosen for analysis.
Numerous studies have investigated new methods to improve extraction, purification, amplification,
[10]
and quantification of DNA from soils. Recently, ISO 11063 reporting “a method to extract nucleic
acids directly from soil samples“ derived from Reference [10] is opening a new window for developing
[11]
standardized molecular approaches to estimate soil quality.
The aim of this International Standard is to describe the procedure used to set up and perform
quantitative PCR to quantify the abundance of soil microbial phyla, as well as functional groups from
DNA directly extracted from soil samples. The quantification of soil microbial phyla, as well as functional
groups by qPCR assays can contribute to the development of routine tools to monitor soil quality.
The repeatability and the reproducibility of the procedure of the quantitative PCR were assessed in
an international ring test study (see Annex B). The repeatability of this procedure was successfully
evaluated for both 16S rRNA genes, as well as genes coding a functional marker of denitrifiers (the
nitrite reductase gene nirK). The reproducibility of this procedure revealed a laboratory effect which
can be overcome by interpreting the results of the quantification of the abundance of the microbial
groups by comparison, either by using an external reference (DNA extracted from a control strain) in
the assay or by calculating a percentage of variations between treatments to normalize the data.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17601:2016(E)
Soil quality — Estimation of abundance of selected
microbial gene sequences by quantitative PCR from DNA
directly extracted from soil
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the crucial steps of a quantitative real-time polymerase chain
reaction (qPCR) method to measure the abundance of selected microbial gene sequences from soil DNA
extract which provides an estimation of selected microbial groups.
It is noteworthy that the number of genes is not necessarily directly linked to the number of organisms
that are measured. For example, the number of ribosomal operon is ranging from one copy to 20 copies
in different bacterial phyla. Therefore, the number of 16S rRNA sequences quantified from soil DNA
extracts does not give an exact estimate of the number of soil bacteria. Furthermore, the number of
sequences is not necessarily linked to living microorganisms and can comprise sequences amplified
from dead microorganisms.

This International Standard describes qPCR assay using fluorescent DNA binding dye as reporter.
This qPCR assay has been validated by an international ring test conducted with the SYBR Green, a
commonly used fluorescent DNA binding dye which binds all double–stranded DNA and can be detected
by measuring the increase in fluorescence throughout the cycle.
The method aims to measure the abundance of selected microbial gene sequences from soil DNA
extract. The method comprises four tasks and eight steps as summarized in Figure 1. According to
Reference [1], the three critical steps to be validated for each qPCR assay are as shown in Figure 1.
