E. coli Transcriptome Dynamics during the Transition from Aerobic to Micro-aerobic Conditions


ABSTRACT: Escherichia coli is a metabolically versatile bacterium that is able to grow in the presence and absence of oxygen. Here, the process of adaptation was investigated by determining changes in transcript profiles when aerobic steady-state cultures were depleted of air. Escherichia coli strain MG1655 was grown in a New Brunswick Scientific Bioflow 1000 fermentation vessels (1.8 l capacity) with culture agitation speed constant at 300 rpm and the temperature maintained at 37 °C. Oxygen levels were monitored using galvanic oxygen electrodes while the pH was maintained at 7.2 ±0.2 by automatic titration with sterile KOH. Evans defined medium was used as the growth medium with glucose (15 mM) as the carbon source with the dilution rate being 0.2 h-1. Aerobic cultures were maintained by sparging the chemostat with air (0.4 l min-1). The switch to micro-aerobic conditions was achieved by switching off the air sparging the culture. After a period of 5, 10, 15 and 60 min exposure to air, cells were harvested directly into RNA Protect (Qiagen) to stabilize RNA before total RNA purification using Qiagen’s Rneasy Midi kit as recommended by manufacturer’s instructions. Keywords: time-course, oxygen-depletion
