Experiments

High-Throughput Sequencing

Purpose of this protocol is to assess the enzymatic activity of glycosidases using fluorophores conjugated to substrates of interest (such as cellobiose or xylobiose). Once the enzyme of interest cleaves substrate, the fluorophore is released enabling quantification of enzymatic activity.

Purpose of this protocol is to generate a library of cosmid clones that are representative of the microbiome of the porcupine for screening for novel enzymes.


To visual total protein in a given sample




To identify specific amino acid sequences of a protein, or tag, using fluorescently-tagged antibodies.

Purpose of this protocol is to grow up single colonies of bacteria for use.

Purpose of this overview is to isolate and clone genes of interest into an appropriate plasmid and then introduce the recombinant DNA molecule into E. coli.

The purpose of this protocol is to assay carboxymethyl cellulose degradation via a pH change detectable by the dye Congo Red as differentially coloured halos around colonies of bacteria.

Concentration protocol to concentrate DNA isolating using the PowerFecal Extraction kit.

Illumina MiSeq Sequencing was used to identify the sequences of the 16S rRNA genes in the fecal samples. This step was undertaking by the Integrated Microbiome Resource at Dal. There protocol was provided to us.

This protocol was used by the Integrated Microbiome Resource to sequence the metagenomic DNA in our fecal samples from the porcupine, beaver, arctic wolf and coyote.

This protocol was used for analyzing the 16S Illumina Sequencing data from the illumina sequencer. Provided by the Integrated Microbiome Resource at Dalhousie University.

This protocol was used for analyzing the 16S Illumina Sequencing data from the illumina sequencer. Provided by the Integrated Microbiome Resource at Dalhousie University.
