Project description:We compared the transcriptional profiles of 12 E. coli O157:H7 isolates grown to stationary phase in LB broth. These isolates possess the same two enzyme PFGE profile and are related temporally or geographically to the above outbreak. These E. coli O157:H7 isolates included three clinical isolates, five isolates from separate bags of spinach, and single isolates from pasture soil, river water, cow feces, and a feral pig. Twelve condition experiment, 12 E. coli O157:H7 isolates. Two biological replicates for isolates RM6067, RM6069, RM6101, RM6102, RM6103, RM6149, RM6655, RM6658, RM9992, RM9997, RM9998 and RM10002 independently grown to stationary phase in LB at 37°C and harvested. One replicate per array. A type 2 gene expression experimental design was used, with fluorescently labeled genomic DNA as a reference channel in each experiment as described by Lucchini, S., et al. 2005. Infect Immun 73:88-102.
Project description:The experiment contains ChIP-seq data for Escherichia coli strain RPB104 hns::kan. The strain was grown at 37 degrees in LB medium to stationary phase and crosslinked with 1 % (v/v) formaldehyde. After sonication, to break open cells and fragment DNA, immunoprecipitations were done using anti-FLAG antibodies. Libraries were prepared using DNA remaining after immunoprecipitation.
Project description:We have deep sequenced the small transcriptome of Escherichia coli growing in LB and in MOPS, in exponential and stationary phase, and analyzed the resulting reads by a novel pipeline STARPA (Stable RNA Processing Product Analyzer). Our analysis reveals over 14,000 small transcripts enriched during both growth stages. RNA samples were collected from total RNA pools or from crude ribosome pools and then size selected by electrophoresis to limit the products to 20-300nt.
Project description:DNA microarray experiments were used to compare gene expression profiles of untreated and 5-azacytidine treated Escherichia coli at both logarithmic phase and early stationary phase The goal was to determine the effect of cytosine DNA methylation loss on gene expression (5-azacytidine is a methylation inhibitor)
Project description:The physiological role of the various nucleoid-associated proteins in bacteria and HU in particular has been addressed in a number of studies but remains so far not fully understood. In this work, a genome-wide microarray hybridization approach, combined with in vivo genetic experimentation, has been performed in order to compare and evaluate the effect of HUalpha, HUbeta and HUalphabeta on the transcription of the Escherichia coli K12 genes as a function of growth phase. The histone-like protein HU is present in the E. coli cell under three dimeric forms (HUalphabeta, HUalpha2 and HUbeta2) in a ratio that varies with growth phase. The experimental protocol is designed to handle strain genotype and growth phase as independent variables. Experiment Overall Design: We used microarrays to investigate global bacterial gene expression in five genotypes of E. coli C600: WT (JO2057), hupA (JO2081), hupB (JO2083), hupAB (JO3020) and rpoS (MW30) at three growth growth phases: exponential, transition and stationary and in three growth media: LB, M9 minimal Glucose and M9 minimal Glycerol. The most relevant experiments were carried out in duplicate: the wild type (JO2057) and the hupAB (JO3020) strains were tested in the exponential and stationary phase, in LB. Wild type and hupAB strains were also tested in single experiments at the transition phase in LB. The single hupA (JO2081) and single hupB (JO2083) mutants were tested at the three growth phases in LB. Wild type and hupAB strains were compared in single experiments both in M9 Minimal Glucose and M9 Minimal Glycerol at the exponential and stationary phase. The last chips were used to test respectively the rpoS mutant at the at the exponential and stationary phase in LB.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 parental starin and isogenic M-bM-^HM-^FrelA, M-bM-^HM-^FspoT ppGpp null strain grown in LB medium with RNA samples talken at AD600=1.0 (mid log, ML), 2.3 (early stationary phase, ESP), 3.0 (mid stationary phase MSP) and 3.6 (Late stationary phase (LSP) Each array used labelled cDNA against a common genomic DNA reference. Triplicate biologically independent RNA samples were arrayed for each of the 2 strains at each of the 4 growth phases
