1 Validation of qpcr Rapid Bacterial Quantification through Viable E. coli cell count in the Saginaw Bay Watershed TYLER LEFEVRE ADVISOR: DR. TAMI SIVY 1

2 Overview Introduction to fecal coliforms Current detection methods qpcr rapid testing EPA Method C validation study The qpcr quantification issue Viability testing Future research 2

3 Fecal Indicator Bacteria Coliforms Indicator of water quality Characteristics: Rod shaped Gram-negative Non-spore forming Fecal Coliforms Indicator of fecal contamination Typically Escherichia coli Snyder, K. Genomes of Two Popular Research Strains of E. coli Sequenced (accessed April 2, 2017). 3

4 Overview Introduction to fecal coliforms Current detection methods qpcr rapid testing EPA Method C validation study The qpcr quantification issue Viability testing Future research 4

5 Current Methods Idexx Colilert-18 Enzymatic, colorimetric Measures coliforms and fecal coliforms after overnight incubation period (18 hours) Faster methods being researched/validated qpcr rapid testing (3-4 hours) Michigan beach allowable threshold: 300 Colony Forming Units (CFU)/100 ml water Set by the Michigan DEQ 4-Methylumbelliferyl β-d-glucuronide (MUGlcU) idexx.com 5

13 Overview Introduction to fecal coliforms Current detection methods qpcr rapid testing EPA Method C validation study The qpcr quantification issue Viability testing Results Future research 13

14 EPA Validation Study of Method C: Escherichia coli in Water by TaqMan Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qpcr). 24 L water collected from various sites Filtered at SVSU Distributed to multiple labs Tested: Colilert-18 qpcr Goal: to find a reliable and reproducible conversion between CFU from Colilert and GE from qpcr Determine an allowable level of GE Log (Target Sequence Copies) 14

15 Filtration Vacuum filtration Polycarbonate filter membranes Rod-shaped bacteria 0.5 µm 0.4 µm pore size, 47mm diameter 100 ml of sample 100 ml Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) rinse PBS Blanks E. coli calibrators 90% ethanol sterilization 15

22 Fluorescence Peak Area The qpcr Quantification Issue qpcr is DNA-based DNA doesn t need a living host to exist Obtained results can be falsely high How can this be studied? Compare viable (live) cell DNA to non-viable (dead) cell DNA Fluorescent viability dyes Study effects of UV-sterilization Live Dead Pre- or Post-UV Samples 22

23 Ultraviolet Sterilization nm Relatively high energy Causes thymine dimers in DNA Renders DNA unusable for transcription/translation and replication Cell death/non-viability 23

24 SYTO 9 PI Cell Viability Dyes SYTO 9 nucleic acid dye Live and dead cells Green Fluoresces at nm Propidium iodide Dead cells Red Fluoresces at nm 24

25 Cell Staining 3 ml samples 9 μl dye mix Equal volumes of 3.34 mm SYTO 9 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 20 mm propidium iodide in DMSO Incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 mins 25

31 Live/Dead Area Ratio Results Quantification Via Fluorescence Known concentration of cells Create standards with known ratios of live to dead cells Test their fluorescence emission Compare intensity of standards to intensity of samples at live and dead wavelength ranges Fluorescence Standard Curve y = x R² = Percent Live Cells 31

32 Fluorescence Intensity Fuorescence Intensity Results Quantification Via Fluorescence Live Fluorescence Standard Curve ( nm) Dead Fluorescence Standard Curve ( nm) y = x R² = y = x R² = Percent Live Cells Percent Dead Cells 32

33 Future Research Test additional samples with Colilert and qpcr to add to the Method C data set Continue viability testing and compare with qpcr results Explore methods to quantify E. coli using fluorescence spectrophotometry Investigate use of alternative viability testing technologies, i.e. flow cytometry Perform controlled assays of UV light exposure on contaminated samples 33
