Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Lactococcus lactis KCTC 3769T,L. raffinolactis DSM 20443T, L. plantarum DSM 20686T, L. fujiensis JSM 16395T, L. garvieae KCTC 3772T, L. piscium DSM 6634T and L. chungangensis CAU 28T . This proves that transcriptional profiling can facilitate in elucidating the genetic distance between closely related strains.
Project description:The bacterial strains P. ruminicola ATCC 19189, M. elsdenii DSM 20460, B. fibrisolvens DSM 3071, E. hallii DSM 3353, R. intestinalis DSM 14610, M. formatexigens DSM 14469 and F. prausnitzii DSM 17677 were cultivated as single cultures, in pairwise cultures and full consortia. Bacteria were grown anaerobically in hungate tubes containing YCFA medium, supplemented with 0.5% wheat straw fiber or fructose as carbon sources.
