RESUMO
We have developed a method to identify and amplify differential fragments between two complex genomes. This technique, named hybridization-monitored genome differential analysis (HMDA), incorporates a monitor system into a PCR-based solid subtraction hybridization that tracks the entire hybridization process. This is achieved by monitoring the subtraction progress using PCR analysis of the conserved sequence of 18S rDNA in the tester sample after each round of subtraction. Homologous fragments can then be eliminated when bound to the driver DNA immobilized on a solid membrane. The hybridization continues until the conserved DNA sequence of 18S rDNA can no longer be detected, and most of the unbound DNA fragments left in the liquid were mainly the tester-specific fragments, thus greatly decreasing the complexity of DNA template of PCR amplification, increasing the amplification efficiency of differences accordingly, and ensuring high positive efficiency and coverage across the tester genome. We have applied the technique in a comparison between the genomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which are two completely sequenced organisms. Results indicated that 95% of the subtracted clones have been confirmed to be different to the driver analyzed using the BLASTN homology alignment. With this technique, 240-fold enrichment of differences is obtained, and the coverage of the difference is up to 79%. These results indicate that HMDA can efficiently identify sequences that differ between two complex genomes.

In order to clarify the cellulose-utilizing mechanism of the Cerambycidae, the microorganism in the Apriona germari(Hope) larvae's gut was cultured and identified. A strain of facultative anaerobic cellulose-utilizing bacteria was isolated from the midgut fluid of A. germari larvae with the cellulose-congo red agar medium. The colonies of the bacteria were white and round with regular margin. Clear zones of cellulolysis surrounding the colonies might reach 10m～20mm. The size of the bacteria was 0.5μm～0. 8μm× l～3μm approximately. The cell was gram-positive rod with polar flagella. It hadn't spores. With the results of biochemical tests, the bacteria were tentatively identified as Cellulomonas.

The colonies of the bacteria were white and round with regular margin. Clear zones of cellulolysis surrounding the colonies might reach 10mm～20mm. The size of the bacteria was 0.5?m～0.8?m?1～3?m approximately. The cell was gram positive rod with polar flagella. It hadn't spores. With the results of biochemical tests, the bacteria were tentatively identified as Cellulomonas.
