Project description:Transcriptional profiling to investigate the response of Streptococcus mutans biofilms to starch and sucrose at distinct stages of biofilm development. RNA was extracted and purified from four replicate samples of each biofilm sample of interest and labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cells grown to mid-log.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of early logarithmic phase culture (O.D=0.2-0.3) of Streptococcus mutans UA159 comparing control of untreated Streptococcus mutans UA159 bacteria with Streptococcus mutans UA159 bacteria spplemented with 20µM synthetic DPD (pre-AI-2) which regulates gene expression via AI-2 quorum sensing system.Three compairisons were performed at pHs of 7,6 and 5.
