Comparative transcriptome analysis of biofilm and planktonic cells of Bacillus cereus ATCC 10987

ABSTRACT: Planktonic and biofilm cells of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 and ATCC 10987 were studied using microscopy and transcriptome analysis. By microscopy, clear differences could be observed between biofilm and planktonic cells as well as between the two strains. By using hierarchical clustering of the transcriptome data, little difference was observed between the biofilm cells of B. cereus ATCC 14579 and ATCC 10987. Different responses between biofilm and planktonic cells could be identified using transcriptome analysis. Biofilm formation seemed to cause a shift in metabolism with up- or down-regulation of genes involved in different metabolic pathways. Genes involved in motility were down-regulated. No clear up-regulation related to capsular or extracellular polysaccharides was observed. Sporulation was observed in biofilm cells using microscopy, which was corroborated with up-regulation of genes involved in sporulation in biofilm cells. The results obtained in this study provide insight in general and strain specific behavior of B. cereus cells in multicellular communities.

Transcription profiling of Bacillus cereus variants that are filametous or short-celled in the exponential phase

Project description:While some members of the Bacillus cereus group constitutively display filamentous growth, other members of this group may grow filamentously as a result of environmental stimuli or genetic changes. In this study, two variants of B. cereus ATCC 14579 displaying filamentous growth during exponential phase were compared with a variant which grew as single cells or short chains during this stage of growth. Phenotypic differences between the variants were investigated by a range of methods, comparing the variants at the genomic, transcriptional and translational level to search for changes which could explain the observed phenotypes. Differences were found between filamentous and purely planktonic variants as well as between the filamentous variants. Filamentous variants displayed rougher colony morphology on agar plates, and did not lyse after death or sporulation. One filamentous variant additionally showed reduced sporulation and increased transcription of class I and and III heat shock proteins, but these phenotypes were not found in the other filamentous variant.

Insight into the response of Bacillus cereus towards the polysaccharide chitosan

Project description:Comparison of chitosan-treated B. cereus ATCC 14579 cells with non-treated B. cereus ATCC 14579 cells. 2 chitosans with similar molecular weight (Mw) but different degrees of acetylation (Fa) were used: chitosan B (Mw: 28.4 kDa, Fa: 0.16) (samples 1-3) and chitosan A (Mw: 36.0 kDa, Fa: 0.01) (samples 4-6).

Overexpression analysis of sigZ of B. cereus ATCC 14579.

Project description:The Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 alternative σ factor σZ and its putative regulon have been characterized. σZ shows overall similarity with ECF σ factors and sigZ constitutes an operon together with asfZ encoding its putative anti-σ factor. Expression analysis revealed sigZ to be induced by an array of stresses, including exposure to ethanol, alkaline pH and heat shock, and a typical promoter binding site for the sigZ-operon was identified by 5’RACE. Phenotypic characterization of B. cereus ATCC 14579 and its sigZ-deletion strain revealed diminished growth performance and sporulation capacity. The σZ-regulon was successfully established by transcriptome analysis of a nisin inducible sigZ-overexpression strain. Overexpression of sigZ was shown to affect expression of 42 genes, including 33 genes encoding proteins located in the extracytoplasm. The identified σZ regulon contained genes encoding proteins situated in the extracytoplasm involved in cell surface modifications and transport. The regulation of genes encoding cell surface modification proteins implies σZ to be involved in the regulation of interaction of B. cereus ATCC 14579 with its environments, which includes human intestinal cells, possibly influencing its virulence status.

Global gene expression analysis of Bacillus cereus to proanthocyanidin exposure

Project description:B. cereus RNA isolation were taken at OD 0.5 just before addition of 0.02 mg/mL EEC, and at 30 min of exposure. Water was added instead of EEC for control. Total RNA was isolated and we performed DNA microarray for genome-wide transcriptional analysis of B. cereus ATCC 14579 in the presence or absence of EEC. The microarray used in this study was custom-made B. cereus ATCC 14579 developed by Agilent Technologies (https://earray.chem.agilent.com/earray/). The B. cereus microarray design was based on the predicted chromosomal open reading frames (NCBI Accession No. AE016877). It targets the 5234 annotated CDS, three non-overlapping probes were designed, low-quality probes were eliminated, and finally 15242 could be spotted. Microarray data was normalized to 75th percentile and the difference was found to be significant by unpaired T-test (P = 0.05). Next, ratio changes of 2-fold (for up-regulated genes in the EEC stress condition) and 0.5-fold (for down-regulated genes in the EEC stress condition) were regarded as biologically significant. 596 were up-regulated and 495 were down-regulated.

Monitoring the ethanol stress response of a sigM deletion strain of B. cereus ATCC 14579.

Project description:Here, the role of σM and its regulon in stress response and survival of B. cereus ATCC 14579 was assessed by comparative transciptome and phenotypic analysis of this strain and its sigM deletion strain. Exposure of B. cereus ATCC 14579 to a wide range of stresses revealed expression of sigM, encoding σM, to be up-regulated mainly in the presence of ethanol and after alkaline pH-shock. Next to this, disc diffusion tests showed the sigM deletion strain to be more sensitive to oxidizing agents and to be more resistant to cell-wall targeting antibiotics than the wild-type strain. The σM regulon was subsequently determined by comparative transcriptional analyses of the wild-type and its sigM-deletion strain after exposure to ethanol. The putative σM-regulon was shown to consist of 29 genes, several of these genes are predicted to be involved in counteracting oxidative stress, such as an NADH oxidase, a ferredoxin, and a lysine decarboxylase or could encode enzymes involved in methionine metabolism, leading toward L-cysteine production, including luxS. Screening of promoter upstream regions allowed for the assessment of a B. cereus consensus promoter binding site for σM. Since the consensus promoter binding site for B. cereus ATCC 14579 σM, its regulon and the predicted functionalities are different from the corresponding features in B. subtilis, it can be concluded that σM plays a unique role in B. cereus stress response and survival.
