Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Bacillus subtilis to lethal heat stress by systematic sampling of bacterial cell suspensions exposed to gradually increasing temperatures. Keywords: Stress response Bacterial cell suspensions exposed to increasing temperatures ranging from 30-62ºC (Cy5 channel) versus 30 degrees C reference (Cy 3 channel), by transfer of the bacterial cell suspension from a 30ºC to a 65ºC water bath; sampling and quenching at 30, 40, 50, 57, 58, 59, 60 and 62ºC; total time to reach 62ºC is ~12 minutes . Biological replicates: 2, independently grown cultures. One replicate per array. Strains B subtilis 168 1A1; B subtilis A163 (food product isolate); B. subtilis MC85 (food product isolate).
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in sporulating Bacillus subtilis 168 delta-prpE mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutation engineered into this strain results in impaired germination of spores.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in sporulating Bacillus subtilis 168 delta-prpE mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutation engineered into this strain results in impaired germination of spores. A six chip study using total RNA extracted from three separate wild-type cultures of sporulating Bacillus subtilis 168 and three separate cultures of sporulating mutant strain, Bacillus subtilis 168 delta-prpE, in which prpE (yjbP BSU11630) gene coding for a protein phosphatase is deleted entirely. Each chip consists of four fields able to measure the expression level of 4,104 genes from Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis strain 168 NC_000964 with eight 60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with two-fold technical redundancy.

Project description:Investigation of the kinetics of whole genome gene expression level changes in Bacillus subtilis NDmed strain during formation of submerged biofilm and pellicle. The Bacillus subtilis NDmed strain analyzed in this study is able to form thick and highly structured submerged biofilms as described in Bridier et al., (2011) The Spatial Architecture of Bacillus subtilis Biofilms Deciphered Using a Surface-Associated Model and In Situ Imaging. PLoS ONE 6(1):e16177.
Project description:Bacterial cell envelope is the first and the major line of defense against threats from the environment. Because of its crucial roles in bacterial cell life, cell envelope is a prime target for numerous antibiotics. In this study, by treating Gram-positive model strain Bacillus subtilis with numbers of cell wall targeted antibiotics, we aimed to obtain a global comprehensive transcriptional profile of cell envelope stress response in B. subtilis via transcriptomic study using high-throughput RNA sequencing approach. This knowledge will then be subject to a series of comparative genomics analyses to get detailed information of the distribution and conservation of cell envelope stress-sensing regulatory systems in B. subtilis.
Project description:Identification of the specific WalR (YycF) binding regions on the B. subtilis chromosome during exponential and phosphate starvation growth phases. The data serves to extend the WalRK regulon in Bacillus subtilis and its role in cell wall metabolism, as well as implying a role in several other cellular processes.
Project description:The transcriptional factor Zur plays a key role in regulating zinc homeostasis in Bacillus subtilis. The genomic sites bound by Zur were mapped using a chromatine immunoprecipitation approach. This allowed the identification of 80 inter- and intragenic chromosomal sites bound by Zur. This data set contains 2 samples. Immunoprecipitated (IP) DNA from Bacillus subtilis BSAS36 strain (BSB1, a tryptophan-prototrophic derivative 168 strain expressing a SPA-tagged Zur protein) were extracted from bacterial cells in the exponential growth phase. IP and whole-cell extract DNA were hybridized on tiling array to generate ChIP-on-chip profiles. Two biological replicates were anlyzed.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of C. elegans young adult worms cultured on non-pathogenic Bacillus subtilis strain 67 versus age-matched worms cultured on the control lab food E. coli OP50. The goal was to identify genes regulated in response to differences in diet, which potentially confer immunity to later exposures to pathogenic Bacillus thuringiensis DB27.
