The Effect of Common Viral Inactivation Techniques on 16S rRNA Amplicon-Based Analysis of the Gut Microbiota
Research investigating the gut microbiome (GM) during a viral infection may necessitate inactivation of the fecal viral load. Here, we assess how common viral inactivation techniques affect 16S rRNA-based analysis of the gut microbiome. Five common viral inactivation methods were applied to cross-ma...

description | Research investigating the gut microbiome (GM) during a viral infection may necessitate inactivation of the fecal viral load. Here, we assess how common viral inactivation techniques affect 16S rRNA-based analysis of the gut microbiome. Five common viral inactivation methods were applied to cross-matched fecal samples from sixteen female CD-1 mice of the same GM background prior to fecal DNA extraction. The V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced from extracted DNA. Treatment-dependent effects on DNA yield, genus-level taxonomic abundance, and alpha and beta diversity metrics were assessed. A sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-based inactivation method and Holder pasteurization had no effect on measures of microbial richness, while two Buffer AVL-based inactivation methods resulted in a decrease in detected richness. SDS inactivation, Holder pasteurization, and the AVL-based inactivation methods had no effect on measures of alpha diversity within samples or beta diversity between samples. Fecal DNA extracted with TRIzol-treated samples failed to amplify and sequence, making it unsuitable for microbiome analysis. These results provide guidance in the 16S rRNA microbiome analysis of fecal samples requiring viral inactivation. |
