Transcription profiling of E. coli F- phenocopies compared with K-12 young biofilm

ABSTRACT: We investigate the global transcriptional differences between the generated E.coli F- phenocopies cells and planktonic cultures using DNA microarray technology. We validated and compared our expression profiling approach with the most E.coli K-12 global expression biofilm-induced genes, in association with the observation of bacterial characteristics using the electron microscope. This functional patterning led us to assign the F- phenocopies/biofilm-related function to 84 genes which involved in the role of F factor during the initial of biofilm formation.
