Microbiology
Molecular Biology
Genetics

Background:

Accurate quantification of Bifidobacteria is crucial for various applications, including gut microbiome studies and probiotic development.
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a sensitive method for bacterial detection, but its accuracy depends on DNA preparation quality.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate and compare different preparation methods for Bifidobacteria DNA.
To determine the most suitable method for high-quality DNA extraction for qPCR analysis.

Main Methods:

Standard Bifidobacteria strains were used to create concentration gradients.
DNA was prepared using three methods: strain DNA, PCR product amplification/purification, and plasmid DNA.
Bacterial concentrations were assessed using spectrophotometry and qPCR.

Main Results:

All three methods achieved high standard curve linearity (R² > 0.99).
The plasmid DNA method resulted in significantly higher DNA concentration and purity compared to the other two methods (P<0.01).

Conclusions:

The plasmid DNA method is optimal for preparing high-quality Bifidobacteria DNA for qPCR.
This finding provides a valuable reference for molecular biological detection of Bifidobacteria.
