Changes in global gene expression of Vibrio parahaemolyticus induced by cold- and heat-stress

ABSTRACT: Vibrio (V.) parahaemolyticus is the leading cause of seafood borne gastro-intestinal infections in humans worldwide. It is widely found in marine environments and is isolated frequently from seawater, estuarine waters, sediments and raw or insufficiently cooked seafood. Within the food chain, V. parahaemolyticus encounters different temperature conditions that might alter the metabolism and pathogenicity of the bacterium. In this study, we performed gene expression profiling of V. parahaemolyticus RIMD 2210633 after exposure to 4°C, 15°C, 20°C, 37°C and 42°C to describe the cold and heat shock response. Analysis of transcriptomics data resulted in differential expression of 19 genes at 20°C, 193 genes at 4°C, 625 genes at 42°C and 639 genes at 15°C. Thus the highest portion of sig
