ABSTRACT We describe a catalyzed reported deposition-fluorescence in situ hybridization (CARD-FISH) protocol particularly suited to assess the phagotrophy of mixotrophic protists on prokaryotes, since it maintains cell and plastid integrity, avoids cell loss and egestion of prey, and allows visualization of labeled prey against plastid autofluorescence. This protocol, which includes steps such as Lugol's-formaldehyde-thiosulfate fixation, agarose cell attachment, cell wall permeabilization with lysozyme plus achromopeptidase, and signal amplification with Alexa-Fluor 488, allowed us to detect almost 100% of planktonic prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) and, for the first time, to show archaeal cells ingested by mixotrophic protists.

We report a versatile fluorometric in-situ hybridization protocol for quantifying hairpin conformations in DNA self-assembled monolayers on substrates, which facilitates the creation of hpDNA-based biosensors with optimal detection performance.

We describe a procedure for preparing tissue sections by embedding in polyethylene glycol for subsequent in situ hybridization analysis using single-stranded RNA probes. Improved tissue morphology is obtained as compared to frozen sections, and the embedding procedure is milder and faster than paraffin embedding. Sections as thin as 2 microns are readily cut from PEG-embedded brain tissue. A simplified hybridization protocol (Clayton et al.: Neuron 1:249, 1988) supports the detection of even low-abundance brain mRNAs (less than or equal to 10(-4) fractional mRNA mass). By employing high stringency washes in place of ribonuclease treatment after hybridization, cell RNA is retained for cresyl violet staining, and high signal:noise ratios are achieved. Solutions to problems with section mounting and adherence to glass slides are presented. The combination of improved morphology, high signal levels, and relative simplicity should make this procedure useful in a variety of applications.
