Abstract
Lak megaphages are prevalent across diverse gut microbiomes and may potentially impact animal and human health through lysis of Prevotella. Given their large genome size (up to 660 kbp), Lak megaphages are difficult to culture, and their identification relies on molecular techniques. Here, we present optimized protocols for identifying Lak phages in various microbiome samples, including procedures for DNA extraction, followed by detection and quantification of genes encoding Lak structural proteins using diagnostic endpoint and SYBR green-based quantitative PCR, respectively. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Crisci et al., (2021).
