I am working with phytoplasmas and I want to know which specie it is. The enzyme restriction of the PCR product gave me a strange result and I want to know if i can obtain a different pattern using this enzyme?
It's possible. But I cheked out the purity and quality of DNA extraction before PCR. And my positive control give me the result that I expected... So... I don´t know...
I think that the different patterns that you obtained in the digestion could be for two reasons:
If you are working with DNA from infected plants, you have DNA from plants, bacteria and endophitic fung andi in your PCR reactions you can have non specific amplifications for different reasons (Tm, primers concentration, PCR program) that when you make your digestions you can obtain different patterns.
The second reason is because you have phytoplasmas from different groups and that can generate several patterns after digestion. However, check these possibilities.
