Several enzymatic permeabilization protocols (utilizing lysozyme, protemase K, achromopeptidase, or recombinant pseudomurein endopeptidase [PeiW]) were evaluated for application of in situ hybridization with horseradish peroxidase-labeled oligonucleotide probes and catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD-FISH) to methanogens. In this study, twelve methanogens were selected that have typical cell surface structures: pseudomurein, surface layer, methanochondroitin and sheath. Among the treatments tested, PeiW treatment was observed to be the most effective one, although methanogens having a sheath were stained heterogeneously and methanogens having methanochondroitin were not permeabilized. On the other hand, lysozyme, protemase K. and achromopeptidase treatments were ineffective or caused cell-lysis, resulting in weak or no signals. Applicability of PeiW treatment was further evaluated using an anaerobic granular sludge sample. The detection rate of Archaea by CARD-FISH increased remarkably after the treatment. Based on the results obtained in this study, we propose PeiW treatment as a novel permeabilization method for CARD-FISH application to methanogens. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
