After lysing 100 μl of the reaction solution at 94°C for 5 minutes, 2.5 units of Taq DNA polymerase was added, followed by denaturation (94°C, 1 minute) → annealing (62°C, 1 minute).

70bp, VT2vh: 980bp, see Figures 4 and 5). The strain producing VT2vh has two VT2vh operons (vtx2vha, vt
x2vhb), but since it was impossible to specifically detect both, one primer sequence was selected from each of both operons, and both operons were detected simultaneously. The fact that the amplified DNA fragment is the desired fragment means that
This was confirmed by separating DNA fragments that matched the calculated values by digestion with restriction enzymes. As a result, it was confirmed that PCR using each primer was specific for each gene.
