Project description:Expression profile of E. coli BW25113 grown under standard laboratory atmosphere with a fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration of 17 mg m-3, under urban polluted atmosphere with a PM2.5 of 230 mg m-3 or under diesel exhaust atmosphere with a PM2.5 of 613 mg m-3. Expression profile of the diesel exhaust atmosphere-adapted E. coli strain T56-1 grown under diesel exhaust atmosphere.
Project description:RpoS, an alternative sigma factor, is critical for stress response in Escherichia coli.RpoS also acts as a global regulator for stress control of gene expression, and actually dose so in log stage and stationary stage. To further understand the effect of environmental stresses on in ethanologenic strains, DNA microarrys was used to analyze the expression profiles of E. coli and its rpoS mutant strain.
