ABSTRACT: To identify the regulated by the transcriptional regulator BpsR, whole genome transcriptome analysis performed to determine which genes were differentially expressed between an in-frame bpsR deletion-mutant of B. bronchiseptica and its wild-type parental strain RB50.
Project description:Bordetella bronchiseptica is a gram-negative respiratory pathogen that causes a diverse spectrum of respiratory disease in a wide-range of hosts. We sought to determine if strains of B. bronchiseptica differed in virulence using the mouse model of infection. Mean lethal doses (LD50) of different B. bronchiseptica strains varied widely in the murine model. B. bronchiseptica strain 253 had a LD50 that was 10-fold lower than the prototypical and fully sequenced B. bronchiseptica strain RB50. Using whole genomic transcriptome analysis covering 100% of B. bronchisetpctica strain RB50ÃÂÃÂs predicted open reading frames (ORFs), 253 was identified as lacking expression of adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT).
Project description:B. bronchiseptica strains RB50 and 1289 were grown in SS broth, subcultured at a starting OD600 of 0.02 into 50mL of SS broth, grown at 37C for 24 hours while shaking and harvested in log phase (OD600 1.0). Total RNA was extracted with Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), treated with RNase-free DNase I (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and purified using RNeasy columns (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) according to the manufacturers instructions. RNA was isolated from two independent biological replicates of strains RB50 and 1289. A 2-color hybridization format was used and dye-swap experiments were performed. For each reaction, 5ug of cDNA was fluorescently labeled. The two differentially labeled reactions to be compared were combined and hybridized to a B. bronchiseptica strain RB50 specific long-oligonucleotide microarray.
Project description:Based on the genomic sequence and using the freely available software ArrayOligoSelector, a long oligonucleotide B. bronchiseptica microarray was designed and assembled. This long-oligonucleotide microarray was subsequently tested and validated by comparing changes in the global expression profiles between B. bronchiseptica RB50 and its Bvg- phase-locked derivative, RB54.
Project description:To investigate the role of RisX in regulating the RisA regulon, we designed and assembled a long-oligonucleotide microarray representing the full B. pertussis genome. For these experiments RNA was extracted from wild-type B. pertussis strain Bp536, ?risA, and ?risX isogenic mutants, converted to cDNA, labeled fluorescently labeled and directly compared by hybridizion to a B. pertussis long-oligonucleotide microarray.
Project description:To identify global stage-specific gene sets unique to biofilm formation for B. bronchiseptica, whole-genome transcriptome analysis was used to measure mRNA abundance under biofilm and planktonic growth conditions after 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours of growth.
Project description:Microarray analysis was performed to determine if the growth-dependent gene expression changes occurred on a global scale for B. bronchiseptica strains RB50, RB53, and RB54. For this analysis cDNA representing three distinct phases of growth: mid-log phase (15H), late-log phase (24H), and late-stationary phase (48H) were directly compared.
Project description:comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis was perfromed in order to identify coding regions present in strain T44625 that are either absent or contain a high degree of sequence divergence compared to the RB50 reference strain.
Project description:Whole genome transcriptome analysis was performed to determine which genes were differentially expressed between strains T44625 and RB50
Project description:Comparison of B. bronchiseptica strains RB50 and 761 grown in either atmospheric concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide (normal conditions) or in atmospheric levels of oxygen with the addition of 5% carbon dioxide into a sealed incubator (5% CO2 conditions).
