What primer is best to use for analyzing bacterial endophytes in sweet potato tuber?

01 January 2015 1 10K Report

I want to know the bacterial endophytes in sweet potato tuber using PCR-DGGE method but I'm still curious about the primer I should use. I haven't found other research using this method to analyse bacterial endophytes in sweet potato tuber, most journals I found were about the bacterial endophytes in roots, leaves, or rhizosphere.

when I perform DGGE on bacteria associated to plants I use the primers published in Felske et al. (1998), but I don't know if they have been used also for potato tuber! Take a look!
