Project description:Genome expression study of Bacteroides fragilis ATCC25285 strain containing the EcfO gene constitutively expressed from plasmid pFD340
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 delta-gmd-fcl delta-fkp mutant strain and a Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 delta-lfg mutant strain, each as compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into these strains interfere with B. fragilis protein glycosylation.
Project description:Genome expression study of Bacteroides fragilis strain 638R comparing an fur deletion mutant with the wild-type strain grown in minimal defined media with iron-replete, iron-limiting, heme-replete and heme-limiting conditions. The construction of the fur mutant analyzed in this study was described in Robertson KP, Smith CJ, Gough AM, Rocha ER. 2006. Characterization of Bacteroides fragilis hemolysins and regulation and synergistic interactions of HlyA and HlyB. Infect Immun. 74:2304-2316.
Project description:Genome expression study of Bacteroides fragilis strain 638R comparing a EcfO null mutant with an empty vector to a anti-EcfO null mutant containing the EcfO gene on a plasmid under the control of an IPTG inducible promoter.
