Expression data from Caulobacter crescentus starved for carbon
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Bacteria adapt to shifts from rapid to slow growth, and have developed strategies for long-term survival during prolonged starvation and stress conditions. We report the response of C. crescentus to carbon starvation, a common form of nutritional stress encountered by free-living bacteria, that induces stasis. Glucose, the only carbon source in the minimal media M2G was removed from C. crescentus exponential phase cultures, and total RNA was extracted after 30 and 60 minutes of incubation. The controls are cells growing in complete media.
Project description:Bacteria adapt to shifts from rapid to slow growth, and have developed strategies for long-term survival during prolonged starvation and stress conditions. We report the response of specific developmental stages of C. crescentus -swarmer and stalked cells- to carbon starvation, a common form of nutritional stress encountered by free-living bacteria, that induces stasis. Glucose, the only carbon source in the minimal media M2G was removed from C. crescentus exponential phase cultures, and total RNA was extracted after 30 and 60 minutes of incubation. The controls are cells growing in complete media.

Project description:Bacteria adapt to shifts from rapid to slow growth, and have developed strategies for long-term survival during prolonged starvation and stress conditions. We report the response of C. crescentus to carbon starvation, a common form of nutritional stress encountered by free-living bacteria, that induces stasis. We explored the differential gene expression changes in wild type cells and cells carrying deletions of two alternative extracytoplasmic function sigma factors, SigT and SigU. Glucose, the only carbon source in the minimal media M2G was removed from C. crescentus exponential phase cultures (wild-type (strain LS101), DSigT (strain LS3554) and DSigU (strain LS3547)). Total RNA was extracted after 15 minutes of incubation. Controls are cells that were mock washed and incubated in parallel in complete media.
Project description:SpoT is an Rsh (Rel / Spo homolog) protein, which synthesizes the alarmone ppGpp in response to starvation. This experiment is quantifying transcription in two Caulobacter strains after 5 minutes of glucose starvation: one strain is wild-type CB15N (NA1000); the other strain is NA1000 which has a chromosomal in-frame deletion of the spoT gene. The wild-type strain can synthesize the alarmone ppGpp in response to starvation and the spoT null strain cannot. Both strains were cultured in M2 defined medium with glucose as the sole carbon source, and then washed and incubated in M2 medium lacking glucose for 5 minutes before RNA isolation. Triplicate cultures of: 1) C. crescentus strain CB15N , and 2) CB15N ?SpoT, cultured in M2-glucose media, then starved for glucose for 5 minutes.
Project description:This study is measuring the steady-state levels of mRNA in wild-type Caulobacter crescentus grown in M2 defined medium containing either ammonium or nitrate as the sole nitrogen source. Four independent cultures of Caulobacter crecentus were grown in each of two medium conditions: M2(nitrate)glucose and M2(ammonium)glucose. Cultures in each medium type were grown to OD660=0.3 and RNA was isolated from each.
Project description:phyR encodes a general stress regulator protein that is conserved among several alpha-proteobacteria. This experiment is quantifying transcription in two Caulobacter strains: one strain is overexpressing phyR (gene CC3477); the other carries a phyR in-frame deletion. Both strains were cultured in M2 defined medium with xylose as the sole carbon source. The first strain (FC626) carries a plasmid integrated into the xylX locus; phyR is fused to the xylX promoter in this plasmid, generating a xylose-inducible phyR overexpression strain. The second strain (FC799) carries an in-frame deletion at the chromosomal phyR locus. Duplicate cultures of: 1) C. crescentus strain CB15 phyR in-frame deletion mutant , and 2) a xylose-inducible phyR overexpression strain, were cultured in M2 xylose defined medium and harvested at OD660=0.3

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Caulobacter crescentus NA1000 delta-CCNA_00382 (ccrM) mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain render it incapable of methylating its genome on the adenine at GANTC motifs.

A six chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate wild-type cultures of Caulobacter crescentus NA1000 and three separate cultures of a triple mutant strain, Caulobacter crescentus NA1000 delta-CCNA_00382 (ccrM), in which the ccrM gene coding for a DNA methyltransferase methylating the adenine in GANTC motifs is truncated and its product inactive. Each chip measures the expression level of 3933 genes from Caulobacter crescentus NA1000 with 3 probes per gene and with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:This experiment is testing the effects of coordinate overexpression of the lovK-lovR two-component system on gene expression in Caulobacter crescentus relative to an empty vector control strain. Transcription in two independent cultures of a lovK-lovR overexpression strain (FC438) are compared to two independent cultures of an empty vector control strain (FC423)
Project description:The goal of this study was to compare the expression profiles of inversion strains ET163 and ET166 to that of wild-type. To this end we performed transcriptional profiling of Caulobacter crescentus swarmer cells from strains ET163, ET166, and CB15N (WT). Two strain experiment. ET163 vs. WT and ET166 vs. WT. Biological replicates: 2 ET163, 2 ET166, and 3 Wild-type
