Project description:Expression profiles of wild-type and SgrR mutant E. coli strains under aMG and 2-DG-induced stress. Expression profiles of E. coli overexpressing SgrS sRNA. Illumina RNA-Seq of total RNA extracted from wild-type, SgrR/SgrS mutant and SgrS overexpressing E. coli strains grown in different conditions.
Project description:Mature tRNA pools were measured using an adaptation of YAMAT-seq (Shigematsu et al., 2017; doi:10.1093/nar/gkx005 ) and further described in (Ayan et al., 2020; doi:10.7554/eLife.57947) in 10 strain-medium combinations (all strains dervied from the model bacterium E. coli MG1655). The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effect of reducing tRNA gene copy number on mature tRNA pools in rich and poor media.
Project description:The role of rpoS gene in the formation of Escherichia coli biofilms were investigated. The gene expression was compared among E. coli MG1655 wild type strain and rpoS knock-out strain in the biofilms, the planktonic exponential phase, and the planktonic stationary phase. The analysis revealed that the wild type bilfilms (WBF) showed similar pattern of gene expression with the WT planktonic stationary phase (WS), whereas the rpoS knock-out biofilms (MBF) showed similar pattern of gene expression with the wild type planktonic exponential phase (WE). Genes involved in the energy metabolism and the flagella synthesis showed higher expression in the rpoS knock-out biofilms (MBF), but not in the wild type biofilms (WBF). Moreover, genes involved in the stress responses showed higher expression in the wild type biofilms (WBF), but not in the rpoS knock-out biofilms (MBF). Keywords: cell type comparison (biofilms vs planktonic cells, wild type vs rpoS knock-out strains)
